Banyan Gold Corp. is a well-financed growth stage gold exploration company, focused on advancing two Yukon gold properties, the flagship Hyland Gold Project and the Aurex-McQuesten Gold Project.
The Hyland Gold Project has a current NI 43-101 Indicated Mineral Resource of 8.6 million tonnes grading 0.85 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) for 236,000 AuEq ounces with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 10.8 million tonnes grading 0.83 g/t AuEq for 288,000 AuEq ounces at a 0.3 g/t AuEq cut-off. This resource is located in its entirety on what is known as the “Main Zone”, is open in all directions and at depth, and has the potential to host a multi-million ounce deposit.

(1) Hyland Gold Project, Yukon
The 100% owned flagship Hyland Gold Project is located in the Watson Lake Mining District in southeast Yukon, approximately 70 kilometres northeast of Watson Lake, along the southeast end of the Tintina Gold Belt. The Project covers over 18,620 hectares in area that is currently accessible by vehicles on a winter road from Watson Lake. The Hyland Gold project consists of the Main Zone, Camp Zone, Cuz Zone, and Montrose Ridge Zone that extends over 11 kilometres.
The Hyland Main Zone has a current NI 43-101 Indicated Mineral Resource of 8.6 million tonnes grading 0.85 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) for 236,000 AuEq ounces with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 10.8 million tonnes grading 0.83 g/t AuEq for 288,000 AuEq ounces at a 0.3 g/t AuEq cut-off (effective date March 22, 2018).
Hyland 2017 Trench Results

- 56 metres of 1.42 g/t Au and 3.94 g/t Ag in TR17-02;
- 22 metres of 1.47 g/t Au and 49.98 g/t Ag in TR17-07;
- 6 metres of 1.15 g/t Au and 16.23 g/t Ag in TR17-06B.
- Proves high grade near‐surface gold mineralization
Project highlights
- Property covers over 18,620 hectares
- NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource of 10.8 million tonnes grading 0.83 g/t AuEq for 288,000 AuEq ounces on the Main Zone
- Large regional resource potential
- Deposit upgradable to +1M gold ounces
- Sediment hosted, structurally-controlled, Carlin-style mineralization
- Low development cost due to existing infrastructure – existing seasonal road access

- 2.5 km of strike between Main Zone and Camp Zone
- Drill test Montrose Ridge and Cuz zones
- Progress structural and geochemical anomalies on rest of property to drill ready
- Continue to expand geochemistry on rest of property
(2) Aurex-McQuesten Gold Project, Yukon
The 9,230 ha Aurex-McQuesten Property, in close proximity to Victoria Gold's Eagle Project and Alexco Resource's Keno Hill Silver District, is highly prospective for structurally controlled, intrusion related gold-silver mineralization. Additionally, both Victoria Gold Corp. and Alexco Resource Corp. are strategic partners on this project, providing camp, geological and financial support.
Project highlights
- Aurex Project acquired from Victoria Gold Corp.
- McQuesten acquired from Alexco Resource Corp.
- Large land package of 9,230 hectares (506 claims)
-
First time property consolidation
- First time datasets have been combined (~$7M historic exploration data) and geological model developed
- Large regional resource potential
- Highly prospective for intrusion related gold mineralization
- Year round access
Aurex Exploration Highlights
- Aurex exploration campaigns have predominantly focused on the Aurex Hill showings
- Recent soil geochemical studies have identified a new target area to the East – in areas immediately up-slope of placer production creeks
- Drill ready targets defined: step-out and definition drilling
McQuesten Exploration Highlights
- Exploration focused on the main McQuesten Zone (a 1,500 m x 500 m zone within 1 km of former Aurex boundary)
- Detailed geophysics including airborne EM-Mag
- Drill ready targets defined: step-out and definition drilling
Exploration Strategy for 2018
- Multiple drill ready target areas on property
- Increase knowledge and step-out drilling on McQuesten and Aurex Hill
- Find buried intrusive Feeder System
