Discovery Alaska (ASX: DAF) goes hot on Alaskan gold
Discovery Alaska will explore 6500ha of rugged Alaskan terrain for gold following a binding mining lease agreement with Doyon, Limited for the Vinasale Gold Project in the icy US state.
Discovery Alaska now has access to a large landholding 310km northwest of Anchorage and 26km south of McGrath for mineral exploration, development and production.
The Vinasale Gold Project has a 22Mt inferred resource of 1.08Moz gold and 2.29Mt indicated resource of 135koz gold, with a 1g/t cut-off grade.
Discovery Alaska’s Director, Jerko Zuvela, sees a rare opportunity to define an exploration and development program for a highly promising yet inactive project.
“The Company is delighted to execute the Mining Lease Agreement with Doyon, following a sustained and determined effort to secure the substantial Vinasale Gold Project to our portfolio,” Mr Zuvela said.
“We are excited to progress the project development in a world-class jurisdiction, unlock unrealised value and establish a platform for a significant period of growth for the Company.
“This is a significant opportunity to rapidly develop an advanced gold project at an exciting time for the gold sector with record gold prices and within a proven high-quality gold district.
