Dawson Gold Corporation (“Dawson”) is a publicly trading (TSX-Venture Exchange: Symbol DYU), mineral exploration company, currently focused on the development and exploration of strategic precious metal properties located in the Yukon Territory. The Company is based in Vancouver, and has a management team with strong ties to the Yukon.
Dawson’s Cornerstone asset is the drill-ready Toro Property located in the southern end of the White Gold District, in the Dawson Range. The Company has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Toro property from Northern Freegold Resources Ltd.
Historic drilling directed solely at copper targets, have returned multiple intervals of anomalous gold and silver from the Main Zone, hosted in a calc-alkaline porphyry similar to Western Copper Corp.’s Casino copper-molybdenum deposit, located 40 kilometres to the northwest. The Toro property also encompasses the Ridge Zone, which has anomalous silver and gold values in soil samples and in trenching completed throughout the 1980’s. The Ridge zone has never been drilled, and occurs immediately upslope from a placer gold operation on Wham Creek. The Ridge anomalies are hosted in the Coffee Creek granites, a Cretaceous age intrusive suite that host Kaminak’s Coffee deposit to the north of the Toro property.
The summer and Fall of 2010 will see the execution of a Phase I diamond drilling program to test multiple anomalous targets on the Toro property.
The Company is also reviewing additional acquisition targets through their extensive network of international contacts.
