08:56 AM EST, 11/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Yukon Metals ( YMMCF ) reported Thursday the results from the 2025 drill program at its Birch copper-gold project, expanding near-surface copper-gold mineralization.

Highlights include 10.1 meters of 0.21% copper from 58.6 meters depth, including 1.8 meters 1.12% copper, and 16.0 meters of 0.20% copper, including a high-grade interval of 0.89% copper over 1.0 meter.

"These results show that the mineralized skarn horizons are both persistent and occurring closer to surface, with solid copper grades across multiple intervals," President and Chief Executive Officer Rory Quinn said. "Confirming continuity between widely spaced holes strengthens our understanding of the system as we await further assays."

Yukon's share price rose 1.8% on Wednesday to C$0.58 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
