The current work programs will be partly funded by a Mineral Incentive Program (MIP) grant. The MIP was initially started in 2014 by the government of the Northwest Territories (NWT) to provide funding to prospectors and exploration companies who propose new exploration projects or are already carrying out NWT mineral exploration work. The MIP is intended to stimulate and sustain mineral exploration activities throughout the NWT and reduce the risk associated with grass roots mineral exploration. TerraX is pleased to announce that an application for innovative exploration research on its YCG project has resulted in an award of $80,000 from MIP. The support shown through its MIP is seen by TerraX as a progressive move by the NWT government to sustain mining as an important economic driver in the NWT economy.
TerraX also recently expanded its land position in the eastern part of the YCG by staking one claim and optioning an additional claim from local prospector Walt Humphries. The latter claim is added to the Walsh Lake property presently under option from Mr. Humphries.
About the Yellowknife City Gold Project
The Yellowknife City Gold Project now encompasses approximately 99.3 sq km of contiguous land immediately north of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, TerraX now controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada - and the least explored.
The project lies on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt and covers 15 km of strike length on the northern extension of the shear system that hosts the high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The project area contains multiple shears that are the recognized hosts for gold deposits in the Yellowknife gold district, with innumerable gold showings and high grade drill results this past year that serve to indicate the project's potential as a world-class gold district. Since February 2013, TerraX has consolidated the project area by acquiring, optioning and staking numerous properties, including: Northbelt, Goodwin, Ryan Lake, Walsh Lake, and U-Breccia, as well as staking additional contiguous lands. Being all-season road accessible and within 15 km of the City of Yellowknife, the YCG is close to vital infrastructure, including transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power and skilled trades people.
