The White Gold Prospect consists of 350 mineral claims within the Tintina gold province of Central Yukon, totaling over 18,000 acres bordering what was formerly Underworld Resources (UW-TSX.V) and has since agreed to a friendly takeover by Kinross Gold (K-TSX). Underworld Resources announced grades of 3.94 g/t Gold over 59.9 metres and 3.59 g/t Gold over 98.3 metres before the takeover by Kinross Gold (K-TSX).The work to date has outlined a 2.5 x 1.0 km multi-element soil anomaly. A larger work program is scheduled for 2012 to test the extent of this anomaly.
The Tintina gold province (TGP) encompasses roughly 150,000 square kilometers and is bounded on the north by the Kaltag-Tintina fault and on the south by the Farewell-Denali fault. This is an expansive region with limited road or navigable river access. It stretches westward in a broad arc from British Columbia, Canada, through southeastern and central to southwestern Alaska, United States. The region's climate is subarctic and includes major physiographic delineations and ecoregions such as the Yukon-Tanana upland, the Yukon River lowlands, and the Kuskokwim Mountains (Nowacki and others, 2002).
Some of the first placer and lode gold discoveries in northern North America were in the TGP in 1886. The TGP is once again the focus of a resurgence in mineral exploration, development, and mining activity. This resurgence stems from new discoveries (the Pogo and Donlin Creek deposits) as well as the application of modern extraction methods. New methods have provided access to previously known but economically restrictive resources (such as the Fort Knox-True North and Scheelite Dome deposits). In addition, the TGP hosts numerous non-gold-related mineral-deposit types.
