Snowline Gold Corp (CSE:SGD) has offered investors a glimpse into its 125-hectare Rainbow gold project in the Tintina gold belt in Canada’s Yukon Territory, calling it a “key element” in the firm’s asset portfolio.
The Vancouver-based company said that a geochemical anomaly on the project indicates that it could host a deep-seated intrusion-related gold system similar to the ones seen at nearby gold operations run by Victoria Gold and Kinross Gold.
Ground magnetics have revealed an alteration signature across a three by two kilometre area, and grab samples have graded up to 8 grams per ton gold, according to Snowline.

The Tintina gold belt is home to Kinross’ Fort Knox project, an 11-million-ounce gold deposit, and Victoria Gold’s Eagle project, which hosts 4.8 million ounces of gold.
"The Rainbow gold project is another key element in Snowline's Yukon-focused asset portfolio,” Snowline CEO Nikolas Matysek said in a statement.
“The sampling and geophysics to date indicate we may be on top of a prospective intrusion like the types associated with other large deposits in the Tintina gold belt. Historical work has established a clear deposit thesis that we will move to validate this season."
Snowline told investors that it is planning an exploration program to include a drone survey, geochemical mapping and structural mapping to define drill targets on the property.
The company boasts a seven-project portfolio covering over 70,000 hectares in Yukon, including its flagship 64,000 hectare Einarson and Rogue gold projects in the Selwyn Basin, where drilling is expected to begin in mid-2021.
