Snowline Gold to decide on Valley’s production

Snowline Gold (TSX:SGD) is entering 2026 with the aim to advance the Valley gold deposit, located within the Rogue Project in Canada, to a production decision. 

Valley is a greenfield prospecting discovery, with a combined 7.94 million ounce measured and indicated resource @ 1.21 grams per tonne gold and an additional 890,000 inferred resource @ 0.62g/t gold. 

Snowline Gold says other priorities for 2026 include continuing early engagement with First Nations on forward-looking plans, as well as a pre-submission engagement with Yukon and federal regulators, and completing a Prefeasibility Study for the Rogue Project. 

The company also intends to follow-up on results from other targets on the Rogue Project and surrounding projects with the aim of establishing a new gold district. 

CEO Scott Berdahl says Snowline is a very different company in December 2025 than it was coming into the year. 

“We’ve de-risked and advanced Valley from its initial 2024 mineral resource estimate to an updated estimate and a robust preliminary economic assessment while making significant progress on a Prefeasibility Study,” Berdahl says. 

“This includes completion of a major field campaign to support informed future engineering decisions, environmental review and advanced permitting, all while advancing our greenfield exploration pipeline.

“Internally, we’ve added strong, relevant expertise to our management team and board that will help to guide us towards a production decision.”

The Rogue Project area hosts multiple intrusions similar to Valley along with widespread gold anomalism in stream sediment, soil and rock samples. Rogue is located in Canada’s Yukon Territory, covering a 60km by 30km cluster of intrusions in the eastern Tombstone Gold Belt known as the Rogue Plutonic Complex. 

Snowline Gold is a greenfields gold explorer focused on finding deposits in Yukon, Canada.
