Snowline Gold Receives PDAC's Bill Dennis Award for Valley Gold Discovery
Snowline’s Valley discovery wins PDAC’s Bill Dennis Award, reinforcing the project’s long-term development path.

Snowline Gold Corp. (SGD) has been awarded the 2027 Bill Dennis Award by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) for the discovery of the Valley gold deposit at its Rogue Project. The award recognizes significant exploration achievement and a substantial contribution to the Canadian mineral exploration industry.
The release highlights the technical foundation of the discovery, pointing to aggressive 2022 drill step-outs that defined a large-scale Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) with high grades. Key data from the August 2025 Independent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) confirms a Measured & Indicated resource of 7.94 million ounces at 1.21 g/t Au.
Snowline Gold Corp. confirmed that a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) is underway and anticipated for delivery in Q1 2027. CEO Scott Berdahl emphasized the collaborative nature of the discovery, acknowledging the foundational work by early prospectors and the broader exploration community.
Snowline Gold Corp. (SGD) has received the Bill Dennis Award, an industry honor that provides independent validation of the geological significance of the Valley deposit and the company's exploration execution. The announcement does not introduce new technical data, revised resource estimates, or changes to the project's financial profile. The PFS timeline, capital requirements, and development pathway remain unchanged from previous disclosures.
Snowline Gold Corp. (SGD) is a gold exploration and development company focused on the Rogue Project in the Yukon Territory. Its flagship asset is the Valley gold deposit, a large, low-strip, near-surface RIRGS system. The company holds a land package of more than 360,000 hectares in the Selwyn Basin/Tombstone Gold Belt.
Currently transitioning from exploration to development, Snowline Gold is conducting a preliminary feasibility study (PFS). The company’s mineral resource estimate includes 7.94 million ounces of measured and indicated resources at 1.21 grams per tonne of gold, along with 0.89 million ounces of inferred resources. A preliminary economic assessment indicates a 20-year mine life, C$1.7 billion in capital expenditures, a C$3.37 billion net present value at a 5% discount rate based on gold prices of $2,150 per ounce, and a 25% internal rate of return.
