Yukon Metals CEO Jim Coates joins Ian Wagner to discuss drilling at the Viper prospect on the AZ project in western Yukon. Three deep holes intersected porphyry-style alteration and copper, gold, and molybdenum mineralization, with copper values generally increasing at depth. Coates says the results suggest drilling reached the upper levels or margins of a larger system. Soil sampling and geophysical surveys point to a prospective corridor extending east and southeast of the holes. Viper is now the company’s priority target at AZ. Yukon Metals plans to use this year’s results to guide drilling toward a potentially higher-grade core next year.
