Klondike Gold has been working to solve the mystery by assembling a large property position in the Kondike fields south of Dawson City. The company is backed by Vancouver finan- cier, Frank Giustra, who holds a 14.6% stake in the company. Klondike's explora- tion efforts are being led by President and CEO, Peter Tallman. Wellgreen Platinum Ltd. [WG-TSX] is currently in the midst of a re-branding exercise that is spearheaded by a new management team, led by President and CEO, Diane Garrett. While details have yet to be announced, it will likely involve a name change that will put an emphasis on other metals in the company's arsenal. As it stands, the Wellgreen Project hosts a measured and indicated resource of 362 million tonnes, containing 2 billion pounds of nickel, 1 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of platinum group metals, plus gold. That marked a 10% increase from the previous estimate. The latest estimate is based on the results of 74 drill holes that were completed since the company announced its last mineral resource estimate in July 2014. In the last 12 months, Garrett said the company has gained a better understanding of the deposit. Among the knowledge gained is the identification of future exploration drill targets at Wellgreen. The company has already shown that it can produce bulk concentrates. Among ideas being discussed is the production of separate nickel and copper concentrates, a move that could improve the economics of the project, the company has said. Meanwhile, Graeme Jennings, the company's Vice- President, Corporate Development, said the company is planning a 6,000-metre drill program to improve confidence levels in the current resource estimates. Triumph Gold Corp. [TIG-TSXV] is an explorer which is focused on its wholly- owned Freegold Mountain Project located in the Dawson Range gold-copper belt.

In June, 2017 the company said it was launching a 13,000-metre dia- mond drilling program to test several targets that were identified during 2016, when the aim was to identify geological controls on mineralization at the Revenue and Nucleus porphyry deposits. Triumph has said it plans to spend $4 million this year at Freegold Mountain. It is also undertaking reconnaissance mapping and sampling work on a second Yukon project known as Tad/Toro. White Gold Corp. [WGO-TSXV] is currently the largest land holder in the Yukon's White Gold District, a region in that has attracted the interest of Kinross, Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. each of which
