The Alaska Gold Forums

Thanks Geo and Chicken. At this point I am doing more internet prospecting than anything else and the info avail from YukonGeo is mostly related to hardrock geophysical. The purpose of my question was to see if there was a potential placer link with the soil sampling.

Morning gents, I am looking at some ground in the Yukon that has not had much placer work done on it but there has been soil sampling for hardrock. There are quite a few samples coming up with gold greater than 50 ppb and some over 1000 ppb. From my understanding 1000 ppb is 1g/yd so that should be ...

Been a milder winter than usual for me near Edmonton although we did have a few days of -42C. Bigger issue is not much snow here or in north central BC where a mine which means forest fire season will be brutal again....

Whoop whoop! Gold keep on motoring into 2024!

Thanks! 4" or 6" pump feeding it?
