Technical Study

Yukon Metals Files Technical Report for the AZ Project, Yukon

YMC · Price

Executive Summary

  • Yukon Metals filed an NI 43‑101 technical report for its AZ Property, confirming widespread copper mineralization and potential large porphyry system.
  • Rock‑chip samples returned up to 26 % Cu; IP surveys identified strong chargeability anomalies coincident with low resistivity zones and elevated multi‑metal soil values.
  • The report contains no material differences from the company’s prior January 22 2026 disclosure, but underscores that current drilling has only intersected the margin of a potentially larger system, guiding future work.

Key Details

  • Report filing: Independent NI 43‑101 Technical Report titled “NI 43‑101 Technical Report on Activities on the AZ Property…”, effective December 4 2025; available on SEDAR+ and company website.
  • Copper mineralization: Rock‑chip samples up to 26 % Cu across the AZ property.
  • Geophysical results: Induced polarization (IP) survey shows a strong chargeability high aligned with a resistivity low; soil anomalies contain elevated Cu, Mo, Au, Ag.
  • Drill intersect: Potassic alteration and mineralization intersected in drill hole AZ25‑004, located several hundred metres from the IP anomaly core, indicating drilling to date is on the margin of a larger system.
  • Property overview: 13,110 ha copper‑gold exploration area, ~36 km south of Beaver Creek, ~6 km west of Alaska Highway; excellent road access and infrastructure.
  • Previous disclosure alignment: The report supports information previously released on January 22 2026 with no material differences.
  • Qualified Persons: Report authored by Carl Schulze, BSc, P.Geo (independent QP); technical content reviewed by Helena Kuikka, P.Geo., VP Exploration (company QP).

Notable Quotes

“The AZ property continues to demonstrate significant copper potential, with early work highlighting high‑grade mineralization and classic porphyry signatures that warrant further drilling.” – Jim Coates, CEO, Yukon Metals Corp.
