The Fort Knox mine includes the main Fort Knox open pit mine, mill, and tailings storage facility, an 80% ownership interest in the Gil property that is subject to a joint venture agreement with Teryl Resources Corporation and the True North open pit mine (which is currently suspended). |

Located within the Fairbanks mining district, a northeast trending belt of lode and placer gold deposits that comprise one of the largest gold producing areas in the state of Alaska.

|
|
|
The Fort Knox area was actively explored for gold placer deposits since 1902 when Felix Pedro discovered gold in Fish Creek located downstream of the Fort Knox deposit. Since that initial discovery, the surrounding Fairbanks Mining district has produced in excess of 8 million ounces of gold, predominantly from placer deposits. Placer mining operations continue to this day.

The Fairbanks district is situated in the north-western part of a geologic formation called the Yukon – Tanana Terrane (“YTT”). The YTT consists of a thick sequence of poly-metamorphic rocks that range from Precambrian to upper Palaeozoic. The dominant rock types in the district are gray to brown, fine-grained micaceous schist and micaceous quartzite known as the Fairbanks Schist.
