Shawn Ryan
Director & Technical Advisor
White Gold Corp. | WGO.V
Shawn Ryan made his success through finding two large gold deposits near Dawson City, and launching the largest staking rush the Yukon has seen in 100 years. He optioned his first discovery — the White Gold project, 95 km south of Dawson City — to Underworld Resources in 2007. Three years later, Underworld was acquired by Kinross Gold (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) in a cash and stock deal worth $139 million. Ryan optioned his second discovery, the Coffee gold project, 130 km south of Dawson City, to Kaminak Gold Corp. in mid-2009. Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) acquired Kaminak in 2016 for $520 million. (Ryan was named The Northern Miner’s “Mining Persons of the Year” in 2010 for his groundbreaking work.)
