Yukon Metals (CSE:YMC) – Launching Major Drill Program in 2025

Interview with Rory Quinn, President & CEO of Yukon Metals

Recording date: 12th May 2025

Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC) is an emerging mineral exploration company advancing a trio of high-priority projects in Canada’s Yukon Territory—Star River, AZ, and Birch. Backed by ~$17 million in cash and the support of industry veterans including the Berdahl family (founders of Snowline Gold) and Keith Neumeyer, Yukon Metals is targeting transformative discoveries in 2025.

Formed in 2024 from a private portfolio of 17 properties built over two decades, Yukon Metals is led by CEO Rory Quinn, a former Wheaton Precious Metals executive. The company has strategically narrowed its focus to three core assets based on grade potential, accessibility, and geological indicators. These projects benefit from proximity to year-round infrastructure, giving the company a cost and logistics edge in a traditionally challenging region.

Star River is Yukon’s flagship, offering surface samples with up to 11,000 g/t silver and 101 g/t gold, supported by overlapping geophysical anomalies suggestive of a large carbonate replacement system. AZ is a copper-gold target with a 1.2 km gossan zone and trenching results up to 10.3% Cu, while Birch hosts geochemical signatures of an intact porphyry system near the Casino district.

The company plans to drill 9,000 meters across all three projects in 2025, with initial results from Star River expected to serve as the key catalyst. Supported by disciplined capital allocation, minimal holding costs on its wider property portfolio, and strong shareholder alignment, Yukon Metals is well-positioned to make a meaningful discovery in a resurgent exploration environment.

In a macro climate where secure, high-grade metal sources are increasingly prized, Yukon Metals’ infrastructure-accessible, high-potential assets offer compelling exposure to gold, silver, and copper in one of Canada’s most promising jurisdictions.
