About Mint Project
The Mint project is located in southwestern Yukon approximately 26 km southwest of the Alaska Highway within the traditional territory of the White River First Nation. The property hosts alkaline-type porphyry gold-copper-molybdenum mineralization that was discovered and staked in the early 1980s, but received only reconnaissance-scale exploration at that time. Geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys conducted by Strategic in 2010 returned encouraging results, including a helicopter-borne versatile time domain electromagnetic and magnetic survey that outlined a circular magnetic high approximately 2,200 m in diameter. This magnetic high is centred on a high level, Mid to Late Miocene dyke of intermediate composition, which cuts approximately coeval, basic to intermediate volcanic flows and related pyroclastic and sedimentary rocks. Areas of intense silicification are present within a broader zone of sericite-pyrite alteration developed in and around the dyke.A 1,100 by 500 m co
