Vancouver, Wednesday, 17 June 2026.
Banyan Gold just struck gold—literally. A new high-grade zone at its AurMac Project in Yukon delivered a staggering 62.66 grams per tonne over 1.8 meters, including 5.58 g/t over 21.7 meters. This find, one of the richest in recent Yukon exploration, could redefine the project’s resource potential and accelerate development timelines. With gold prices holding firm amid global uncertainty, this discovery positions Banyan as a standout in North America’s junior mining space—sparking a 7% stock surge in a single day.
