Blue Jay Gold Corp.
Blue Jay Gold Corp. (TSXV: JAY) is a Yukon-focused gold-silver explorer. Its flagship is the 100%-owned Steller Gold Project (formerly the Skukum Gold Project), a 170 km2 epithermal gold-silver property in southern Yukon roughly 55 km south of Whitehorse in the Whitehorse Mining District, with existing infrastructure from past production including a 270 tonne-per-day mill and a 50-person camp; the historic Mt. Steller Mine produced nearly 80,000 oz of gold at an average recovered grade of ~13 g/t Au (a historical, non-NI-43-101-compliant record, not treated as a resource here). STELLER CARRIES A current NI 43-101 mineral resource ESTIMATE. Per the company's own 26 January 2026 announcement and the supporting technical report 'Technical Report and Updated Mineral Resource Estimate of The Steller Gold Project, Whitehorse Mining District, Yukon Territory' (dated 26 Jan 2026, effective 31 October 2025, prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc., QP Eugene Puritch, P.Eng, FEC, CET), at a 3.0 g/t AuEq cut-off: Indicated 1,372 kt at 7.57 g/t Au and 127.2 g/t Ag (9.06 g/t AuEq) for 334,000 oz gold, 5,612,000 oz silver and 400,000 oz AuEq; plus Inferred 2,166 kt at 5.63 g/t Au and 70.1 g/t Ag (6.45 g/t AuEq) for 392,000 oz gold, 4,880,000 oz silver and 449,000 oz AuEq.
Notable vs. Peers
- Financials score of 8.8/10 is stronger than the peer average of 5.3/10.
Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: mill, tailings facility, grid power.
Jurisdiction (40%)8/10
Yukon: Fraser PPI 2025 is 62.19 of 100 (rank 47 of 68), which maps to 8 on this site's scale. The Steller project is in Yukon's Skukum mining camp; the company also holds ground in Ontario. Yukon has Canadian rule of law, but mining executives rate its policy climate below Canada's leading provinces.
Infrastructure (40%)6.4/10
Confirmed road access at Steller Project (Skukum Mining Camp), Yukon, Canada; existing mill, grid power, and tailings facility not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No producing mine within 50 km in our reference list (nearest listed: Kensington (Coeur Mining, Inc.), 146 km). That list doesn't cover every mining district yet, so a longer distance isn't scored as remote.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
