First Drill Hole Confirms High-Grade Copper Skarn Mineralization at the Birch Project
Yukon Metals Corp.
October 15, 2025
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770, OTCQB: YMMCF) (“Yukon Metals” or the “Company) is pleased to announce initial results from the 2025 drill program at its 100% owned Birch Copper-Gold Project (“Birch”), located 65 kilometers northeast of Burwash Landing, Yukon. The Company has received assays from the first drill hole, BR25-001, along with promising surface sample results from prospecting a geochemically anomalous zone 2 kilometers south of the drilling.
Highlights:
The initial drill hole encountered stacked skarn horizons containing copper mineralization over lengths of up to 21.2 meters, including multiple intervals over 3.1% copper equivalent.
Drilling intersected skarn horizons extending along a 750-meter strike east-west (Figure 1); Hole 3, a 250-meter step-out to the east, encountered near-surface mineralization beginning at ~25 meters and a 46-meter thick, continuous interval of intensely skarn altered rock from 256.5 to 302.5 meters (News Release September 3, 2025).
Prospecting 2km south of the drill pad returned up to 16g/t Au, 1,825 g/t Ag, and 0.43% Cu, in surface rock samples from an area coincident with a large molybdenum soil geochemical anomaly (Figure 6).
“Our team is very encouraged by results from the first of six drill holes at Birch,” said Rory Quinn, President & CEO. “We are seeing clear evidence of a copper-gold skarn system, with high-grade zones and strong alteration along intrusive contacts. Early signs of a porphyry-style source are compelling, and we are particularly eager to see what emerges from Holes 3 and 4, spaced 750 meters apart within the 1400-meter-long skarn trend, with Hole 4 located within a surface high-grade gold anomaly.”
Drill Results
The 2025 drill program at Birch consisted of 1,685m of HQ diamond drill core in six holes off 4 pads (Figure 1). Highlights from Hole BR25-001:
21.2m of 0.30% Cu (0.41% CuEq*) from 138.8m to 160m including 2.5% Cu with 0.55 g/t Au and 18.5 g/t Ag (3.2% CuEq) from 145.45–146.00m and 2.7% Cu with 0.55 g/t Au and 24.1 g/t Ag over 1.0m (3.5% CuEq) from 150.0–151.0m (Figure 2).

Yukon Metals Confirms Large Copper-Bearing System at the AZ Project
Yukon Metals Corp.
September 18, 2025
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770, OTCQB: YMMCF) (“Yukon Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from the inaugural 2025 drill program at its 100%-owned 13,110 hectare AZ Project, located approximately 6 kilometres west of the Alaska Highway and 36 kilometres south of Beaver Creek, Yukon. The program comprised five drill holes totaling 1,500 metres, targeting two new areas: Chair Mountain and the Southeast Prospect.
The first-pass drilling program successfully intersected copper and gold mineralization at both targets, supporting the Company’s geological models and suggesting they may form part of a larger mineralized system.
Highlights:
Inaugural drilling intersected multiple copper-bearing veins across four holes.
Porphyry-style system at Southeast Prospect: Hole AZ25-004 cut increasing potassic alteration at depth, interpreted as a vector toward a porphyry centre.
Best intercept: 14.4m at 0.44% Cu, incl. 1.5m at 0.37 g/t Au (AZ25-001).
Structural model emerging: Vein orientations at Chair Mountain align with regional stress regimes and provide vectors for follow-up drilling.
“This is a big system and the right kind of copper system for a large tonnage porphyry,” said Rory Quinn, President & CEO of Yukon Metals. “At Chair Mountain, we’ve confirmed copper mineralization within a structural corridor, and at the Southeast Prospect we have intersected classic porphyry-style alteration at depth. These initial results validate our proof-of-concept program and confirm that the system is copper-bearing, fertile, and gold-bearing across two distinct areas. With clear geological vectors now in hand, our next phase of drilling will focus on stepping out toward the core of the porphyry system and we will conclude the season with follow-up soil sampling and induced polarization geophysics."
Chair Mountain Drilling
Four holes (AZ25-001, -002, -003, and -005) were drilled at Chair Mountain to test near-surface copper showings hosted in quartz–carbonate–chalcopyrite veins and a fault zone between basalt volcanics and overlying volcaniclastic/siliciclastic rocks. AZ25-001, -002, and -005 were drilled from the same pad location. Assay intervals for AZ25-001 begin at 10m due to incomplete core recovery in the Heavily faulted and fractured upper portion of the hole. Hole AZ25-005 was drilled on the same azimuth as AZ25-001, but at a steeper angle, following the early termination of the first hole due to difficult ground conditions.
Structural analysis indicates dominant SE-striking, steeply-dipping vein orientations, consistent with regional extensional stress regimes and aligning with surface mapping.
Copper mineralization (malachite, azurite, chalcopyrite) was intersected in multiple zones, dominantly hosted in cm-scale quartz–carbonate veins. Best results include 14.4m at 0.44% Cu in hole AZ25-001, with high-grade subintervals up to 2.10% Cu over 0.9m, and 23.5 m at 0.13% Cu in hole AZ25-003. Up to 0.37 g/t Au was present near surface in association with the copper mineralization in hole AZ25-001.
These results confirm the system is copper-bearing and open, with follow-up work planned to refine targeting along the modeled vein orientations.
Southeast Prospect Drilling
Hole AZ25-004 was a step-out hole targeting a zone of alteration and chalcopyrite mineralization within a dioritic body intruded by porphyry dikes. Surface sampling in this area during the 2025 program sampled up to 1.14% Cu and 5.73 g/t Au in an outcrop exposure of intensely altered diorite with a band of chalcopyrite, pyrite, and minor bornite. The hole collared into variably altered diorite with porphyry dikes in the upper 350m, where alteration was dominated by propylitic assemblages with localized halos of secondary biotite and K-feldspar flooding adjacent to dikes. Below 350m, the character of alteration changed to a consistent potassic overprint of K-feldspar, magnetite, and silica, more typical of the inner zones of porphyry systems.
Structural observations indicate that the porphyry dikes dip steeply to the southwest, and with the drill azimuth-oriented southeast, they were cut at shallow angles, progressing from the hanging wall to the footwall downhole. This geometry suggests that the more prospective potassic alteration encountered at depth may project back to surface to the northeast of the drill trace, potentially defining a vector toward the centre of the porphyry system.

The 2025 exploration program at the AZ Project confirmed the presence of multiple porphyry-style indicators, including potassic alteration, chalcopyrite-bearing veins, magnetite skarn, and structurally controlled epithermal mineralization. A refined geological model now shows a coherent intrusive–volcano sedimentary architecture consistent with porphyry-skarn systems. While high-grade mineralization was widespread in the first drill holes, alteration zoning, geochemistry, and mineralogy all point to proximity to a porphyry center. These results provide a strong foundation for ongoing geophysical and geochemical surveys to refine targets for future drilling.

Yukon Metals Commences Inaugural Drill Program at Its Star River Project
Yukon Metals Corp.
August 25, 2025
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770, OTCQB: YMMCF) (“Yukon Metals” or the “Company) is pleased to provide an update from its inaugural drill program at the 100%-owned, road-accessible, 720-hectare Star River Project located near Ross River, Yukon. The first holes of the planned diamond drilling program have successfully intersected zones of structurally controlled veining in quartzite and dolostone units near the F2 showing area. Core photos from these early holes are included below in this release.
Highlights:
Initial drillholes intersected quartzite and dolostone with vein swarms containing pyrite, arsenopyrite, quartz, ankerite, and galena.
Drilling is focused on a strong gravity anomaly coinciding with a Time-Domain Electromagnetic conductor near the historic F2 and Canyon showings.
Core photos presented in this release show vein textures and sulfide mineralization consistent with surface observations.
"We are highly encouraged by the early visuals from our initial holes into the F2 target. The intersection of sulfide-rich vein swarms in both quartzite and dolostone supports our geological model and validates the targeting approach. With core in-hand showing the right minerals and structures, we’re optimistic as we continue drilling into this promising system,” said Rory Quinn, President and CEO of Yukon Metals. “Yukon Metals is also well underway with the drill program at its Birch copper-gold project, which will be the subject of a separate news release.”
Building on the strong geophysical results and the success of the previous seasons’ rock-chip sampling, which returned multiple samples over 1,000 g/t silver and gold up to 101 g/t, the Company has initiated drilling at a high-priority target in the southern portion of the property. This area hosts a significant gravity anomaly extending approximately 800 meters north–south, which coincides with a Time-Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) high near the historic F2 and Canyon showings. The overlap of these geophysical signatures suggests a major geological feature, and drilling is designed to determine whether it represents a favorable host rock or structural control on mineralization.
Initial holes have intersected vein swarms within quartzite and dolostone lithologies. These swarms host pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, quartz, and ankerite, with locally brecciated textures. Core photos included in this release highlight several mineralized intervals, which are consistent with a structurally focused mineralizing system.
Additional Exploration Activities
In addition to drilling, a high-resolution UAV drone magnetic survey will be conducted across the property. This survey, alongside detailed geological mapping and rock geochemical sampling, will refine the structural interpretation and follow up on anomalous 2024 rock-chip samples, including a sample returning 10,936 g/t Ag.
A gravity infill survey over the Saddle Zone, where a 2024 TDEM anomaly was previously identified, was completed earlier in the season. This dataset is being integrated with drill and magnetic data to better resolve subsurface features and refine future drill targets.

Visible Copper Mineralization in Drill Core and Rock Samples Up to 26% Copper and 5.73 Grams Per Tonne Gold at Yukon Metals’ AZ Property
Yukon Metals Corp.
August 7, 2025
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770, OTCQB: YMMCF) (“Yukon Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update from its inaugural drill program at the 100%-owned 13,100-hectare AZ Project located approximately 6 kilometres west of the Alaska Highway and 36 kilometres south of the community of Beaver Creek, Yukon. Drilling and surface work completed in June and July appear to confirm the presence of a large-scale copper-bearing system at the AZ Property supported by significant subsurface copper mineralization and high-grade grab samples across the broader project area.
AZ Highlights:
Preliminary visuals from Hole 4 shows visible copper mineralization, located in a newly tested target area; core photos shown below.
Prospecting samples up to 26.0% Cu and up to 5.73 g/t Au collected in multiple areas across the property.
Five diamond drill holes totaling 1500 metres have been completed as of July; assays are pending for Holes 1 to 5.
"It is very encouraging to see visible copper mineralization in core from multiple drill holes in previously untested areas at the AZ Project," said Rory Quinn, President and CEO of Yukon Metals. "Combined with the high-grade copper and gold identified in surface samples, we are just beginning to uncover the potential of this system. We look forward to receiving assays and advancing our next-phase exploration efforts."
Hole 4 of the 2025 AZ exploration program tested a new porphyry target characterized by strong potassic alteration and visible copper sulphide mineralization within dioritic rocks cut by porphyry dikes. Surface sampling of outcrop near the collar location returned notable copper of 1.14% and gold of 5.73 g/t (Sample K155053), within chalcopyrite and minor bornite in disseminated and vein-hosted textures.
The alteration zone covers approximately 2 square kilometres and is interpreted to represent a lateral or upper expression of a porphyry copper system. The target is located on the edge of a regional magnetic high identified in the tilt derivative of reduced-to-pole (RTP) magnetic data (YGS Open File 2020-35), indicating potential proximity to a deeper or more strongly mineralized source at its center. Visual inspection of Hole 4 core confirms copper-bearing sulphides consistent with a porphyry copper model. Assays from Hole 4 are pending; representative core photos are included below.

Yukon Metals Identifies New Copper Zone and Mobilizes Second Drill Rig at AZ Property
Yukon Metals Corp.
July 2, 2025
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770, OTCQB: YMMCF) (“Yukon Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the identification of a newly defined copper target at its 100%-owned 13,110 hectare AZ Project, located approximately 6 kilometres west of the Alaska Highway and 36 kilometres south of Beaver Creek, Yukon. The Company has mobilized a second drill rig to test the newly identified zone, located approximately 4 kilometres southeast of current drilling, to help accelerate exploration across multiple high-priority targets within a large, underexplored hydrothermal system.
Highlights:
Second drill rig mobilized to test a newly defined copper target 4 kilometres southeast of current drilling (Figure 1).
Newly acquired claims increase the AZ property from 11,755 hectares to 13,110 hectares and extend to the east from the newly identified copper target.
Target generated through systematic fieldwork, including mapping of a potassic alteration zone and associated chalcopyrite mineralization.
Exploration advancing in parallel across multiple targets within a large-scale hydrothermal system.
“We are mobilizing a second rig at AZ as we scale up exploration across this large, underexplored hydrothermal system,” said Rory Quinn, President & CEO of Yukon Metals. “This new target was defined through detailed fieldwork and aligns well with our evolving geological model at AZ. With two rigs now turning, we’re in a strong position to test multiple high-priority zones in parallel. Each hole contributes critical insight as we work toward uncovering the full potential of this emerging copper system.”

The newly defined target is underlain by intrusive rocks exhibiting potassic alteration and visible chalcopyrite in veins and disseminations. The alteration zone extends over approximately 2 square kilometers, and field observations suggest it may represent a lateral or upper expression of a porphyry copper system. While classic stockwork veining is not exposed at surface, the geological characteristics and surface mineralization provide a strong technical basis for drill testing. The target lies within a drainage identified by regional geochemical datasets as having high copper porphyry potential (Mackie et. al., 2016), comparable to those associated with known porphyry deposits in the Yukon.
Yukon-based and Local First Nation Contractors Engaged
Drill pad construction at the AZ Property was completed by Minconsult in partnership with Vision Quest Drilling, a Kluane First Nation citizen-owned company.

Yukon Metals Begins Inaugural Drilling Program at High-Grade Copper Zone of AZ Property
Yukon Metals Corp.
June 11, 2025
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770, OTCQB: YMMCF) (“Yukon Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has commenced the inaugural drilling program at its 11,755-hectare AZ Project, located 6 kilometers west of the Alaska Highway and 36 kilometres south of Beaver Creek, Yukon. The fully funded exploration program includes 2,000 metres of diamond drilling, along with extensive geological mapping and rock-chip sampling across several high-priority targets. (Figure 4).
2025 AZ Drilling Program:
2,000 metres of diamond drilling of extensive copper mineralization at Chair Mountain, with surface values up to 3.49% copper (Figures 1 and 5).
Hole AZ25-001 contains malachite and azurite down to 22.4m (Figure 2).
Follow-up on the Nutzotin skarn mineral occurrence, where historic trench samples returned up to 10.3% copper (AR # 095814) as well as testing of an intrusive-hosted chalcopyrite-bearing vein system (Figure 4).
Yukon-based and local First Nation contractors engaged: drill pads constructed by Minconsult in partnership with Vision Quest Drilling, a Kluane First Nation citizen-owned company; helicopter support provided by Yukon-based Capital Helicopters; drilling services contracted to Platinum Drilling; camp services provided by Käganì, a Kluane First Nation citizen-owned enterprise in partnership with longstanding Yukon-based exploration contractor - Archer Cathro.
“We are encouraged by the presence of visible copper oxide minerals, including malachite and azurite (Figures 2 and 3), observed in the upper portion of the first hole at AZ,” said Rory Quinn, President & CEO of Yukon Metals. “These visual indicators align well with our exploration model, and we look forward to receiving assay results to confirm the extent and grade of mineralization.”
