Gold mining in the Klondike area has been active since the Yukon Gold Rush in 1890s.

In the late-1950s, bedrock exploration started in the area to source placer, which became active two decades later after the development of Casino porphyry deposit.

The area hosts gold, silver, copper and molybdenum mineralisation with orphyry deposits (Casino), mineralised breccia deposits (Coffee), and lode and stockwork veins (Golden Saddle). Ophir, Sheba and Hav properties exhibited all three styles of mineralisation.

The acquisition is subject to TSXV approval.
