From the frozen Arctic to the sweltering tropics, Canadian gold seekers will be there. Buoyed by the strong price, activity in exploration and production continues to rise.

BANYAN GOLD

Banyan Gold (TSXV: BYN; US-: BYAGF) has two advanced exploration projects in the Yukon. AurMac, 56 km northeast of Mayo is 100% owned, as is the Hyland project, 74 km northeast of Watson Lake.

Both gold projects are adjacent to producing mines—Victoria Gold’s (TSX: VGCX; US-OTC: VITFF) Eagle mine and Alexco Resource’s (TSX: AXU; NYSE-AM: AXU) Bellekeno silver mine at the Keno Hill project.
