Labrador Gold Signs Option Agreement to Acquire Mariposa and Eureka Dome Projects in Yukon
Labrador Gold Corp. has announced the signing of an option agreement with Pacific Ridge Exploration Limited to acquire a 100% interest in the Mariposa and Eureka Dome gold projects located in the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory. The agreement, dated May 8, 2026, positions LabGold to explore these strategic assets, which span 16,000 hectares and comprise 795 claims. The Mariposa project is situated approximately 120 kilometers southeast of Dawson City and shares geological similarities with nearby major deposits like White Gold and Coffee. Historical data indicates significant potential, with past placer production from Scroggie Creek suggesting substantial bedrock mineralization. The property features six notable gold occurrences, including Skookum Main and Hackly Gold, identified through extensive soil sampling and previous exploration efforts between 2010 and 2015. LabGold intends to leverage modern technology and recent district-wide findings to re-evaluate the extensive existing database. This acquisition aims to expand LabGold's portfolio in a prolific mining region, capitalizing on the area's established orogenic gold events and proximity to developing infrastructure such as the proposed Northern Access Route.
