Snowline Gold Corp. (CSE:SGD) has announced the appointment of Thomas Branson to the role of vice president of Exploration.
Branson served as Snowline’s Exploration Manager in 2022, playing a key role on Snowline’s team during a transformative year for the company that included initial delineation of the large, near-surface, and unusually high-grade bulk tonnage Valley gold discovery on Snowline’s Rogue Project in Canada’s Yukon Territory.
“Snowline’s rapid growth trajectory over the past year is as much a testament to the strength of our team as it is to the quality of our exploration targets,” commented Scott Berdahl, CEO & director of Snowline in a statement. “We are fortunate to have Thomas Branson, with his broad skillset and exploration mindset, as a key player helping to drive Snowline’s advancement. We are similarly fortunate at the talent that Snowline’s discoveries have attracted, as we continue to build out our team and ramp up our efforts towards making additional discoveries.”

Prior to joining Snowline, Branson spent 15 years as an exploration geologist, gaining extensive experience in the Yukon and British Columbia, from greenfields exploration through to feasibility studies. He has been involved with organization and management of over 190,000 cumulative metres of exploration and resource drilling on programs in the Wernecke Mountains and Wolverine mine in Yukon, Mount Milligan, Kemess and Scottie Gold mines in British Columbia and elsewhere. His role with Snowline bridges operational and technical aspects of exploration, discovery, team building and project advancement.
“I am excited at the potential for our growing team to continue making game-changing discoveries as we evaluate and explore our land package, roughly equal in size to one quarter of BC’s Golden Triangle, selectively acquired,” said Branson, referring to the company’s more than 280,000 hectare land position in the Yukon.
“The many prospective targets within Snowline’s Selwyn Basin project areas point to an emerging gold district. Valley and Jupiter appear to be the tip of the iceberg, and with two years now under our belt, we are poised to take advantage of a unique opportunity in the exploration space,” he added.
Other recent internal appointments include Sergio Gamonal to chief geologist, Steve Rennalls to director of Operations, and Stephanie Hansen to director of Marketing and IR.
Snowline Gold is a Yukon Territory-focused gold exploration company with a seventeen-project portfolio covering more than 280,000 hectares. The company is exploring its flagship more than 137,000-hectare Rogue and Einarson gold projects in the highly prospective yet underexplored Selwyn Basin.
Snowline’s project portfolio sits within the prolific Tintina Gold Province, host to multiple million-ounce-plus gold mines and deposits including Kinross’ Fort Knox mine, Newmont’s Coffee deposit, and Victoria Gold’s Eagle Mine. The company’s first-mover land position and extensive database provide a unique opportunity for investors to be part of multiple discoveries and the creation of a new gold district.
