    Yukon Metals Announces Positive Results of up to 14.1 g/t gold and 4,260 ppm copper from Surface Rock Chip and Soils Sampling up to 0.99 g/t gold at its Birch Property

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770), the “Company” or “Yukon Metals”, is pleased to announce an exploration update on its 2,285 hectare Birch project, located approximately 65 km northeast of Burwash Landing.

    Fieldwork commenced at the Birch property on August 3, 2024 (Figure 1), including a soil sampling and prospecting program (Figure 2 to 4). Assays from 341 of 530 samples on a 50m x 100m grid over the northern anomaly were received and show encouraging Au and Cu results up to 0.988 g/t Au and 2,310 ppm Cu. The anomalous zone trends roughly east-west and extends over 1,400 meters. A rock-chip sample over this zone contains 14.1 g/t gold and 4260 ppm copper within pyrite-chalcopyrite rich skarn (Figure 5). Field mapping indicates the geology of the project area is comprised of schists and marble units, moderately to strongly oxidised felsic intrusive, and patchy oxidised porphyritic rhyolite dykes.

    Rory Quinn, President & CEO stated, “We are excited about these first pass results that have clearly identified a copper & gold mineralized system that has significant scale as demonstrated by the soil anomaly being over 1,400 meters long. The exceptionally high gold grades of up to 14.1 g/t from the surface rock chip program taken in the same area also point to the potential of the system to host economic grades. The metal association and the geology of the prospect area all point to the prospectivity for a gold-rich copper porphyry system that is largely preserved. The project area also has relatively benign topography and is located 65 kilometers from the Alaska highway.”

    Yukon Metals will follow up on the soils results by using a combination of electrical resistivity tomography and induced polarization geophysics to delineate bedrock structure.

    About the Birch Project

    Yukon Metals owns 100% of the Birch project located 65km northeast of the community of Burwash Landing, and accessible via helicopter. The Birch project lies predominantly within the Finlayson assemblage of the Yukon-Tanana Terrane, consisting of variably carbonaceous schist and quartzite, marble, garnet amphibolite and rare metaplutonic rocks.

    The Yukon-Tanana Terrane structurally overlies the Ruby Range Batholith which is regionally mapped in the northeastern portion of the property occurring as Ruby Range quartz-feldspar porphyry and Rhyolite Creek porphyry and intermediate and felsic volcanic rock (Israel et. Al., 2011).
