It´s good to have you here and I hope to attract more users to join in and share their view on the numerous Area Players.

I´m still doing heavy DD on this Area Play and I´ve counted 53 companies actively involved here (I will post that list once finished), either directly or through JV.

Boot, thanks for that post (I´ve read this article somewhere but can´t find it anymore).

And I fully agree, there is the full spectrum of players involved, high/low share float, cashed up/no cash, prime properties/"hey, I´m here as well"-properties, large district-scale claims/mini-blocks, substance/hype ....

Recently, we have seen many PP´s with some heavy dilution in some cases (60%-80%!).

And there is still a lot of hype out there, otherwise some market caps can´t be explained (i.e. MC $40-200M for properties with just soil samples and limited to no exploration!).

My DD is focusing on companies with:

- excellent management (track record),

- a low share float (under 80M fd),

- highly prospective properties in the Dawson/White Gold Area, in the ATAC Rackla Area and in the Whitehorse Area,

- ideally properties in other areas as well, because of ongoing news-flow (Yukon season just from April-September),

- cash for this years exploration campaign (either PP recently closed or cash already available),

Maybe everybody can post their TOP5 Yukon plays with a short summary, why the specific company is included in that list ?

Would be a good starting point for further discussion !

Cheers,
