Stakeholder Acquires Marion Property in White Gold Area of Yukon
(firmenpresse) - DAWSON CITY, YUKON -- (Marketwire) -- 08/15/11 -- Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SRC) is pleased to announce that it has acquired the 396-claim (8,002-hectare) Marion property by staking. The property is located in the Ten Mile Creek area of the White Gold district approximately 80km southwest of Dawson City, Yukon. The Ten Mile area is very active with properties held by Ryan Gold (Flume property), Solomon Resources (10-Mile property) and Stina Resources (Dime property). Previous work in the area by Teck and Phelps Dodge identified a number of gold showings spatially related to contacts between intrusive rocks with high grade metamorphic rocks of various affinities. More recent work indicates gold-in-soil geochemical zones related to southeast to northwest and east to west structural trends.
The White Gold area lies within an underexplored part of the Tintina Gold Belt. This metallogical province has past production of 29.9 million ounces and 39.3 million ounces of resources for total gold resources of 69.2 million ounces. Notable gold deposits are Donlin Creek, Ft. Knox, Pogo and Brewery Creek. The White Gold area overlaps with the Klondike Gold camp where over 20 million ounces of placer gold have been produced to date. The hard rock potential of this area had not been recognized until 2009 when Underworld Resources Inc. announced the Golden Saddle discovery. This led to a massive staking rush that was followed in 2009 by a second major discovery by Kaminak Gold Corp. on its Coffee Project. The White Gold area is currently one of the busiest exploration districts in Canada. Stakeholder holds a total of 17,046 hectares in the area.
"Marion Creek is part of our ongoing acquisition strategy in Yukon. Despite the recent market turmoil we remain convinced that Yukon has turned a page and will continue to be one of the hottest exploration areas in Canada," comments Mark Fekete, President and CEO.
