The Yukon Flats Exploration Project continues to progress steadily, meeting expectations and operating smoothly through the end of the summer exploration season. Throughout September and October, Hilcorp’s custom-built drilling rig has remained active near Birch Creek, with activity at the site proceeding as planned and without major interruptions.  

Project operations will begin winding down as the exploration season draws to a close. Work at the site is scheduled to wrap up by the end of October, with equipment secured in place for the winter months. The seasonal pause ensures that operations remain safe, efficient, and aligned with environmental and logistical conditions in the region. 

Looking Ahead 

At the close of the season, Hilcorp will evaluate the results of 2025 to inform future exploration efforts. Doyon and Hilcorp will communicate with shareholders around future job opportunities. Shareholders interested in job opportunities are always encouraged to apply.  

Doyon will continue to provide updates and share information as the project progresses.
