MOVING THE EARTH The brainchild of a group of renowned geologists and mine builders with more than 200 years of combined experience, Mine Discovery Fund was formed to identify Tier 1 mineral assets in favorable jurisdictions around the globe and spin these prospective projects into junior exploration companies purpose-built based on the jurisdiction and commodity being pursued. By North of 60 Mining News Since emerging on the Alaska mineral exploration scene in 2021, Felix Gold Ltd. has amassed more than 150 square miles of gold-enriched properties in the Fairbanks Mining District and is working toward establishing an inaugural resource at one of the most prospective gold targets discovered so far on this enormous land package. As Felix carries out systematic drilling to outline an at- surface resource within the million-ounce-plus NW Array gold target on its Treasure Creek property about 12 miles west of Kinross Gold Corp.’s Fort Knox Mine, the Australia-based team behind the Alaska gold explorer is investigating the incredible and underexplored metals potential America’s Last Frontier has to offer.
While the scope of MDF is global, the junior exploration company incubator keeps coming back to Alaska due to the largely untapped potential for precious, base, and critical metals found across the northern state. “We love Alaska, we think it is an extraordinary minerals belt and we think it is totally underexplored,” Mine Discovery Fund Managing Director Joe Webb said. “We think it has potential for all the critical minerals in the world — it hasn’t been known as a big copper jurisdiction yet, we think it will be.” Seeing copper as the “main game in this world,” MDF formed Wiseman Metals to explore for copper, rare earths, and associated metals on three land packages owned by Doyon Ltd., the Alaska Native corporation for Interior Alaska. “At Wiseman East there is a potential to unlock a new copper porphyry district and the REE project is a carbonatite with evidence of niobium and heavy rare earths,” Webb told Mining News. Mine Discovery Fund’s foray into Alaska began with Felix Gold, which is a tip of the hat to Felix Pedro, the Italian
