Despite speculation to the contrary, Snowline Gold (TSXV: SGD) this morning confirmed that exploration remains ongoing at its Rogue Project in the Yukon.
This comes despite the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun, who’s territory the Rogue Project falls under, on July 3 stating that all mining related activity must pause as a result of the collapse of Victoria Gold’s (TSX: VGCX) heap leach facility at its Eagle Gold Mine. After making the stating initially on July 3, it appeared to be subsequently reaching out to operators individually in an effort to convey the message.
