Yukon Metals uncovers high-grade gold and polymetallic deposits at Star River
Yukon Metals Corp. has released promising results from its 2025 diamond drilling program at the Star River property. The exploration work uncovered high-grade gold and polymetallic mineralisation, reinforcing the potential of the site. New discoveries have also expanded the company's prospective land holdings in the region.
The drilling campaign targeted the F2, F3, and Saddle zones, focusing on down-dip and along-strike extensions of known gold and silver-bearing veins. One standout result included an intersection of 11.7 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 0.5 metres within quartz-ankerite-sulphide veins in the F2 zone.
Polymetallic mineralisation was also identified, with peaks of 183 g/t silver, 10.6% lead, and 3% zinc. Drill holes confirmed a strong correlation between geology and geophysical surveys, mapping out a 1-kilometre structural corridor hosting multiple exploration targets. A drone magnetic survey further defined this corridor, aligning with the mineralised zones. Gold mineralisation ranged from 0.2 to 4.9 g/t across several drill holes. Following these findings, the company expanded its land position by acquiring an additional 2 kilometres of prospective ground along the same structural corridor, including the Stump property.
The 2025 drilling program has strengthened Yukon Metals' understanding of the Star River property's mineral potential. With expanded land holdings and confirmed high-grade intersections, the company now has a clearer path for further exploration. The results suggest a well-defined structural corridor that could support future resource development.
