Renegade acquired a 90% interest in the Yukon Base Metals Project in 2007. The original project comprised 493 Mineral Claims covering 95km2 over and around the Andrew Zinc Deposit. The Company has since expanded its land position with the project now comprising 1,554 Mineral Claims covering approximately 305km2. The mineral claims are in good standing and extend to around 2030.
Since 2007 the Company has completed 350 diamond drill holes at the Yukon Base Metal Project for over 40,000 metres; discovered three separate zinc deposits; and defined a 2012 JORC Code compliant Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource:
12.56 million tonnes at 5.3% Zn and 0.9% Pb
Yukon Base Metal Project land position, comprising the Junction tenement (100%), the Selous tenements (90%) and the Riddell tenement (100%).
Renegade believes there is potential to increase the resource base at the Yukon Project. Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike at the Andrew, Darcy and Darin deposits. Numerous, sizeable, undrilled, coherent soil geochemistry anomalies are evident elsewhere at the project, including at the Junction tenement where extensive soil anomalies have been delineated.
Critical defence metals uncovered at Andrew Zinc-Lead Deposit
In February 2025, the Company announced that a recent review into the Andrew Zn-Pb-Ag Deposit had uncovered significant concentrations of the critical defence metals germanium and gallium. These defence metals, particularly germanium, are rare, very expensive and are some of the most important and sought after of the advanced electronic materials.
Flotation metallurgical tests indicate a recovery of 71.3% Ge into a concentrate grading 150g/t Ge (627% concentration increase).
Diamond drill results from the Andrew Deposit include:
- 45.9m @ 43.5g/t Ge, 12.5g/t Ga, 9.4% Zn (AN01_004 from 92.6m)
- 4.5m @ 48.0g/t Ge, 15.8g/t Ga, 6.4% Zn, 22.6% Pb, 56.8g/t Ag (AN01-014 from 123.35m)
- 12.2m @ 38.7g/t Ge, 18.5g/t Ga, 8.1% Zn, 9.5% Pb, 23.3g/t Ag (AN01-015 from 149.8m)
- 11.2m @ 28.4g/t Ge, 28.6g/t Ga, 9.6% Zn, 15.6% Pb, 36.4g/t Ag (AN01-015 from 184.9m)
- 6.0m @ 43.9g/t Ge, 27.9g/t Ga, 29.9% Zn (AN07-027 from 204m)
- 9.3m @ 25.7g/t Ge, 15.6g/t Ga, 14.9% Zn (AN07-030 from 290.6m)
- 30.6m @ 31.5g/t Ge, 27.8g/t Ga, 19.9% Zn (AN07-033 from 63.5m)

Myschka – gold silver prospect uncovered near Andrew Deposit
On 11 February 2025, the Company announced that it had uncovered reports of high-grade gold and silver mineralisation plus antimony in rock chip and soil sampling at its Myschka Au-Ag Prospect, part of the Yukon Project.
Myschka is located just 10km north of the Andrew Zn-Pb-Ag-Ge-Ga Deposit Group and has never been drilled. It is just ~80km SW of the recent Snowline Gold Corp’s (TSXV: SGD) multi-million-ounce gold discovery at the Valley Deposit, which is associated with Mid-Cretaceous intrusive rocks. This is the same age as the intrusive rocks recorded at Myschka.
High-grade rock sample results from the prospect include:
- 1.05g/t Au, 560g/t Ag, +1.0% Sb (sample: M1043)
- 0.55g/t Au, 57g/t Ag, 1.0% Sb (sample: M1019)
- 0.23g/t Au, 47g/t Ag, 0.85% Sb (sample: M1016)
- 0.07g/t Au, 54g/t Ag, 0.82% Sb (sample: M1045)
- 0.63g/t Au, 409g/t Ag, 0.29% Sb (sample: M1047)
- 0.32g/t Au, 116g/t Ag, +1.0% Sb (sample: M1046)
A very large Au-Ag soil anomaly extends for over 2km with spot high grades of:
- 0.09% Sb in soil
- 0.26g/t Au in soil
- 65g/t Ag in soil
Renegade is planning to review the historic samples for potential re-testing as well as conducting field work. The Company is also in discussions with Australian Laboratory Services to determine the most appropriate analysis method for germanium and gallium.
