Golden Predator: Stair Steps to Heaven

As we monitor news and developments from Yukon exploration companies this season, we are pleased with what we’re seeing. Clearly, though, we’re not the only ones witnessing this and positioning to take advantage of the potential gains the Yukon can provide to investors. An article from the CBC (found here) from last week affirms this, stating that investment by Asian companies in the Yukon mineral and gas industries has topped $1 billion over the past five years. This includes investment in the projects themselves, and related, or “ripple effect” spending. The confidence exuded here bodes well for future natural resource discovery in the Territory despite the gains that have already been realized by several junior mining companies. We think investment to date has been the “tip of the iceberg.”
