Yukon Metals Files Technical Report for the Birch Project, Yukon

Yukon Metals Files NI 43-101 Report for Birch Project, Confirming 2025 Copper-Gold Skarn Drilling Results

Executive Summary
  • Yukon Metals Corp. filed an independent NI 43-101 technical report for its Birch Property, with an effective date of January 19, 2026.
  • The report validates the company's 2025 diamond drilling program (1,685 metres across six holes), confirming a 750-metre footprint of copper-gold mineralization characterized by stacked skarn horizons.
  • Key intercepts include 47.4 metres grading 0.43 g/t gold (including 1.0 metre at 14.35 g/t gold) and 21.2 metres grading 0.30% copper.
  • Surface sampling approximately two kilometres south of the drill area identified elevated gold, silver, and copper near a molybdenum soil anomaly, establishing new priority exploration targets.
  • The 7,000-hectare property is 100% owned and located in the Yukon, with geological data suggesting potential for additional epithermal and porphyry-style systems.
Material Impact
  • This filing is a standard regulatory compliance step that confirms previously released assay results.
  • It does not introduce new drilling data, financial results, or operational changes.
  • The report de-risks the geological model slightly and supports the ongoing 2026 exploration agenda, but it does not alter the company's valuation or investment thesis materially.
  • Market impact is expected to be minimal, serving as a routine validation of the asset's potential ahead of the 2026 drill season.
