RUby Creek overview
Multi-Metal Discovery Potential in the Atlin Gold Camp
The 100%-owned Ruby Creek Project is Stuhini’s flagship asset, located just 14 kilometres east of Atlin, British Columbia. Covering 29,734 hectares in the heart of the historic Atlin placer Gold Camp, the property offers year-round road access, proximity to hydroelectric power and an airstrip, and a long legacy of exploration and development.
Ruby Creek is uniquely positioned with both development-stage and exploration-stage opportunities: it hosts a large, pit-constrained molybdenum resource, while also advancing a pipeline of high-grade gold and silver targets across multiple zones. This dual focus makes Ruby Creek a rare, district-scale opportunity with multi-metal upside across both critical and precious metals.
Project Highlights:
100%-owned by Stuhini Exploration
29,734 hectares in the Atlin Gold Camp, northwestern BC
Road-accessible with nearby hydro power and infrastructure
Hosts a measured + indicated molybdenum resource of 432.99M lbs (2022 NI 43-101)
Historical work includes feasibility, construction, and over 74,000 m of drilling
Gold upside from multiple high-grade showings across several zones
Silver targets include bonanza-grade surface samples at Silver Surprise, Daybreak and Ruffner Zones
Multi-metal potential spanning molybdenum, gold, silver and tungsten
Gold Potential: Expanding High-Grade Trends
Stuhini has identified multiple high-grade gold corridors across the property:
Thor Ridge: 28.5 g/t Au grab sample
Lakeview–Boulder Corridor: up to 121.34 g/t Au grab sample
Thor Ridge Trend: broad intercepts including
76.2 m @ 0.15 g/t Au
73.2 m @ 0.21 g/t Au
Gold Potential: Expanding High-Grade Trends
Stuhini has identified multiple high-grade gold corridors across the Ruby Creek property, supported by both historic work and modern exploration:
Thor Ridge: 28.5 g/t Au grab sample
Lakeview–Boulder Corridor: up to 121.34 g/t Au grab sample
Thor Ridge Trend: broad intercepts including:
76.2 m @ 0.15 g/t Au
73.2 m @ 0.21 g/t Au
These gold occurrences are consistent with orogenic and structurally hosted systems and are further supported by BC government Minfile data and activity from local placer miners across 7 major gold-bearing creeks within the tenures.
Importantly, intrusion-related gold mineralization has also been confirmed at Ruby Creek. Initially encountered in two historic condemnation holes drilled by Adanac Molybdenum in 2007, follow-up analysis by Stuhini and the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) confirmed the presence of native gold in quartz veinlets hosted within intrusive rocks. This discovery supports the presence of a broader mineralizing system and expands the exploration potential beyond structurally controlled zones.
Silver Discovery: Silver Surprise & Beyond
Stuhini’s exploration teams uncovered four silver targets, the most prominent being Silver Surprise, where surface grab samples returned:
16,030 g/t Ag, 14,179 g/t Ag, and additional >10,000 g/t Ag samples
Strike length extended to 270 metres with three parallel zones
Nearby Daybreak also returned high-grade silver, and these showings remain a key area of focus for follow-up exploration.
Molybdenum Resource: Scale and Infrastructure Advantage
Ruby Creek hosts a significant molybdenum resource, originally advanced through feasibility, permitting, and construction prior to the 2008 financial crisis. Stuhini retained Mine Development Associates (MDA) of Nevada to update the project’s mineral resource estimate, effective March 10, 2022.
Measured + Indicated Resource: 432.99 million lbs Mo
Inferred Resource: 43.65 million lbs Mo
Resource reported at a 0.02% Mo cut-off, pit-constrained
Path Forward
Stuhini’s exploration is focused on unlocking the full value of this large, multi-metal system through:
Step-out drilling and geophysical targeting
Expanding known gold and silver zones
Evaluating development options for the molybdenum deposit
