Relationship grows with mining company

Victoria Gold Corp. and the NaCho Nyak Dun First Nation of Yukon territory have signed a Letter of Intent for the purposes of staking NaCho Nyak Dun land adjacent to the corporation’s Dublin Gulch Project, nearly doubling the land package within NaCho Nyak Dun traditional territory. Victoria has staked 1,443 claims on two parcels of NaCho Nyak Dun land adjacent to and to the west and south of the existing Dublin Gulch Property. This ground is highly prospective, covers an area of 290 km2 and has not seen any exploration activity in more than 20 years. Dublin Gulch, original ground along with the new staking, now includes 3,408 claims covering 646 km2. “Victoria Gold continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to First Nations in the areas of environmental stewardship and business development,” said Chief Simon Mervyn. “On the heels of our CBA Agreement to advance the Eagle Gold Mine into production we are very pleased to enter into a further agreement with Victoria to conduct exploration on our Settlement B Lands adjacent to Dublin Gulch.” John McConnell, president and CEO of Victoria Gold commented, “Doubling the Dublin Gulch claim block with highly prospective, underexplored ground is a tremendous opportunity for both Victoria and NaCho Nyak Dun.
