Klondike Gold Corp
Klondike Gold Corp advances a 100%-owned Klondike District Gold Project near Dawson City, targeting gold along district-scale orogenic fault systems. The company focuses on discovering the hard-rock lode sources that fed the famous placer deposits.
Key Exploration Zones
Recent work includes mapping of a 12 km Eldorado Fault corridor and focused drilling at theLone Star and Stander zones. These areas show potential for significant orogenic gold mineralization associated with regional fault structures.
Modern Prospecting Techniques
Today's exploration combines traditional prospecting with cutting-edge technology:
- Geophysical surveys to map subsurface structures
- Geochemical sampling to identify gold pathfinder elements
- Structural geology analysis to target fault zones
- GIS mapping using Yukon's GeoYukon platform for claims and geology data
- Drilling programs to test targets and define resources
Research and Academic Projects
University research teams continue to study the structural and thermal evolution of the Klondike goldfields, working to understand the orogenic systems within the Yukon–Tanana terrane that created these world-class deposits. This research helps guide modern exploration strategies.
