The recognition extends beyond mining operations, acknowledging “unflinching and significant contributions to support emergency efforts during the unprecedented wildfire emergency the NWT experienced.” Contributions ranged from major cash donations to emergency relief organizations to providing staff support for wildfire efforts and ensuring essential supplies in communities.
- Overview of Gold Terra and the Yellowknife Project:
- Gold Terra Resource Corp. is actively engaged in exploration for high-grade gold on its district scale project adjacent to the City of Yellowknife. The Yellowknife Project (YP) covers 918 sq. km of contiguous land, and through strategic acquisitions, the company controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Focused drilling is currently underway on the prolific Campbell Shear, known for producing 14 Moz of gold. Additionally, attention is given to the Con Mine Option (CMO) property claims south of the past-producing Con Mine, which produced 6.1 Moz between the Con, Rycon, and Campbell shear structures. The exploration programs aim to re-establish Yellowknife as a premier gold mining district in Canada.

About Gold Terra
The Yellowknife Project (YP) encompasses 918 sq. km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilometres of the City of Yellowknife, the YP is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power, and skilled tradespeople. Gold Terra is currently focusing its drilling on the prolific Campbell Shear, where 14 Moz of gold has been produced, and most recently on the Con Mine Option (CMO) property claims immediately south of the past producing Con Mine which produced 6.1 Moz between the Con, Rycon, and Campbell shear structures (1938-2003).
The YP and CMO properties lie on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that hosts the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company’s exploration programs have successfully identified significant zones of gold mineralization and multiple targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company’s objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.
