About Duncastle Gold

Duncastle Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company based in British Columbia, Canada with projects in both central and southeastern BC. The Yankee Dundee project comprises 26 crown grants under a 100% option agreement and 95 tenured mineral claims totaling approximately 5,987 hectares in the Nelson Mining District, located three kilometres northeast of the town of Ymir in southeastern British Columbia. Gold mineralization was first reported near Ymir in the late 1800s, with much of the mining taking place at the Yankee Girl, Dundee and Ymir mines during the period 1907 to 1951. Historical records indicate that a total of 375,000 tonnes grading 9.9g/t Au and 57g/t Ag were mined from the Yankee Girl vein during this time. Exploration by the company is targeting high-grade Au-quartz veins throughout the Ymir district which historically, together with the adjacent Sheep Creek district is reported to have produced more than one million ounces of gold(1). The Ymir camp was the largest silver producer in the British Commonwealth in the 1930s (BC MEMPR Bulliten 109, 2001). In central B.C. the company has the 8,641 hectare Porphyry Creek property in the Rocher Deboule Mountains near Smithers, with a porphyry or IOCG copper-gold target.
