VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 16, 2024 / SNOWLINE GOLD CORP (TSX-V:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the “Company” or “Snowline“) congratulates Fireweed Metals Corp. (“Fireweed”) on securing significant Canadian and United States government funding in support of their critical minerals projects at Macmillan Pass, Yukon Territory, including funding towards regional power infrastructure and road improvements that could benefit multiple groups in the district.
“We are excited about the positive impact that this infrastructure funding could have on the broader minerals district, including Snowline’s flagship assets, and we commend the Fireweed team for their effort and initiative,” said Scott Berdahl, CEO & Director of Snowline. “In recent years, Macmillan Pass and the surrounding Selwyn Basin have demonstrated clear potential towards becoming an important foundation of the Yukon’s economic future and an important contributor of responsibly sourced metals to the North American supply chain.
