FLOW METALS RECEIVES 10-YEAR EXPLORATION PERMIT AT YUKON GOLD PROJECT
The Yukon government has granted a 10-year Class 3 quartz exploration permit for Flow Metals Corp.'s Sixtymile gold project. The permit authorizes extensive mechanized exploration activities in one of the most historically productive placer gold districts in Yukon.
The Class 3 permit allows:
- Up to 100 diamond drill holes per calendar year;
- Up to five kilometres (km) of mechanized trenching and soil sampling;
- Construction and upgrading of access roads and trails.
"Receipt of the Class 3 permit follows collaborative engagement with local stakeholders and with both the government of Yukon and Tr'ondek Hwech'in government," said Scott Sheldon, president of Flow Metals. "With key approvals in place, we intend to commence systematic drilling on priority gold targets in the district."
Sixtymile project
The Sixtymile district has produced placer gold since the 1890s and remains active, with continuing operations recovering angular and crystalline gold. Flow Metals' mineral claims cover key drainages that historically yielded placer gold, including Bedrock, Miller, Glacier and Little Gold creeks.
Recent work by Flow Metals has mapped and drill confirmed a mineralized thrust fault and deformation system running for at least nine kilometres across the property. Brittle-ductile deformation is observed within Klondike schist and underlying Nasina schist. Gold-in-soil anomalies up to 1.18 grams per tonne (g/t) (RDU SM I029450) and historical drill intercepts up to 105.3 metres (m) at 0.51 g/t gold (Au) from 88 m (including 24.07 m at 1.57 g/t Au from 141.93 m) (DDH-11-18) indicate the structure is gold bearing. The historical results are cited for context, have not been verified by the company to current National Instrument 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon as current mineral exploration results.
With the structural framework now better constrained, Flow Metals intends to focus on delineating higher-grade zones that may explain the district's placer endowment. The 10-year permit enables systematic drill testing of these targets for the first time on a multiyear basis.
Planned exploration
Initial work under the permit is expected to include:
- Oriented diamond drilling along the mapped thrust-fault system where gold mineralization has been confirmed;
- Expanded soil geochemistry and mechanized trenching to expose and sample new structural and geochemical targets;
- Selective access construction and upgrades to reach previously untested ground and support mapping, sampling and drilling.
All activities will be conducted in accordance with Yukon Class 3 environmental requirements, with progressive reclamation and continued engagement with local communities and Tr'ondek Hwech'in.
