Summary

The Dawson Range area overlaps with the Klondike and Stewart gold camps where over 20 million ounces of placer gold have been produced to date. The hard rock gold potential of the Dawson Range had not been fully recognized until 2009 when Underworld Resources Inc. announced the Golden Saddle discovery. This led to a massive staking rush that was followed in 2010 by a second major discovery by Kaminak Gold Corp. on its Coffee Creek project. The Dawson Range is currently one of the busiest exploration districts in Canada. Stakeholder holds a total of 21,908 hectares in the Dawson Range. Ballarat, located midway between Golden Saddle (now held by Kinross) and Coffee Creek, is Stakeholder's primary asset in the area. The Selwyn property is Stakeholder's second most important project and the Company holds a number of other properties in the district including Marion, Thistle Mountain, Divide and Coffee.

The Dawson Range remained free of ice during the last period of glaciation. Because of this, the region is characterized by rolling hills with steep-sided, V-shaped valleys. There is very little bedrock exposure and a thick local soil has developed. This prevented early prospectors from finding much by traditional "pack and boots" prospecting. Modern, GPS-guided soil geochemical surveys have proven to be a very effective tool for identifying large mineralized systems. At this early stage it appears that the geology is prospective for a range of deposits from narrow, low-tonnage, high-grade deposits to broad, large-tonnage, low-grade gold deposits.

This part of Yukon is relatively accessible by a number of summer roads and airstrips built by placer miners. The Yukon River also offers a transportation corridor to barge in fuel, equipment and supplies.
