- No documented historical exploration
- Overlies the Livingstone Airstrip, with winter road access to the Yukon highway network

The 43 km2 Milner Property was staked by Cascadia in 2023 in an area with no documented historical exploration. It is located 80 km northeast of Whitehorse within the traditional territory of the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council and Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation. The east side of the property overlies the Livingstone Airstrip, with numerous active placer gold mining operations located nearby.
Work at Milner has identified a 2,400 x 1,800 m copper soil anomaly in the core of the property. Prospecting has returned several rock samples with elevated copper grades, including 0.65% copper with 5.3 g/t silver and 0.45% copper with 0.24 g/t gold, 5.0 g/t silver and 34 ppm molybdenum from bedrock near a gossanous area discovered in 2023.
The property lies within the Stikine Terrane and is immediately adjacent to the 1,000+ km long, deep seated, crustal scale strike-slip Teslin-Thibert fault.
Milner Geology & Mineralization
The property is dominantly underlain by the Triassic aged Semenof Formation basalt and andesites and by the Carboniferous aged Boswell Formation basalts, volcanic breccias and greenstones. The east side of the property is cut by a NW-SE trending thrust fault that marks the easternmost edge of the Stikine Terrane. The Devonian to Carboniferous Finlayson Suite of the Yukon-Tanana Terrane outcrops east of the thrust fault.
The Milner Property has no documented historical exploration, with no record of previous claims having been staked in this area.
