The Company
18526 Yukon Inc. is a family-owned project generator based in and focused on Canada's Yukon Territory, with additional projects in the western United States. The company originated from Ron Berdahl’s prospecting endeavours, which began in the 1980s.
Ron Berdahl, BSc
Ron Berdahl is a long-time Yukon prospector, active in the Territory for more than three decades and awarded the Yukon's "Prospector of the Year" honour in 1997. His discovery credits include the Andrew Zn-Pb deposit and the Lened emerald occurrence, the first emerald find in Canada's north. Berdahl was among the first to recognize the Carlin-style gold potential of the Selwyn Basin during the mid 2000s. In addition to other discoveries throughout the territory, his work has uncovered new potential in many older and otherwise abandoned projects. He has been a primary player in the strategic assembly of several district-scale gold, tungsten and uranium packages in Canada and the USA.
