Who We Are
Responsible Gold for a Changing World
Snowline’s mission is simple: to create lasting value by building a leading gold exploration and mining company fit for the future. We do this by prioritizing environmental stewardship, social respect, integrity, and long-term economic sustainability in everything we do.
We see a future where responsible mining—from exploration through reclamation—integrates social and environmental needs to deliver value not only for shareholders and employees but to local communities, Indigenous rights holders, local economies, and to our planet as a whole.
We treat it like home – because it is. We are naturalists at heart, with a strong appreciation for the wild spaces we work in and their importance to past, present and future generations. We strive to reduce and eliminate negative impacts on land, water and wildlife while looking for ways that our presence can contribute positively to ecological stewardship and environmental health.
We create value where it matters. Exploration and mining offer powerful opportunities to support long-term community well-being through economic empowerment. We work to recognize and build on those opportunities—too often missed in development—through open dialogue, respect and genuine collaboration. Our goal is to create meaningful value for local communities, Indigenous peoples, and the broader public in the places where we operate.
We go big – and follow through. In a volatile industry, only the best projects create lasting value through cycles of boom and bust. We aim to find and advance world-class gold assets, combining fresh ideas with rigorous science to make game-changing discoveries and unlock value through responsible development.
We do things right. It’s easy to list values—it takes work to live them. We embrace this challenge. We work to build a safe and inclusive work environment for ourselves and our partners. We commit ourselves to exploring with scientific rigor and to effectively deploying shareholder capital. We aim to learn from our mistakes and to apply those lessons to facilitate our growth. At the end of the day, we strive to leave things better than we found them.
Our Story: Decades in the Making
Snowline’s roots run deep in the Yukon. In the 1980s, prospector Ron Berdahl began exploring the North, often bringing his young sons into the field. The family lived simply, off-grid in a remote cabin, as Ron chased new ideas in untapped terrain. His son Scott followed in his footsteps, studying geology and business before joining the family company full-time.
Through decades of persistence, the Berdahls quietly staked and explored more than one percent of the Yukon. Much of it cycled through other companies and came back with data that strengthened their ideas. That hard-won portfolio formed the foundation of Snowline Gold: a company built on field work, local knowledge and a long-term view of exploration.
Today, Snowline is driven by a diverse team with broad expertise, bold ideas and a shared commitment to doing things right. In just a few short years, the company has made significant discoveries, earned strong community and investor support, and established itself as a leading force in Canadian exploration and development. With momentum on its side, Snowline is advancing a bold vision for discovery, development, and a new standard in Yukon mining.
Our History
Berdahl began prospecting full time in 1988, exploring mostly in the Yukon. As a self-taught prospector, he looked for opportunities off the beaten path.
In the 1990s, he began to involve his two young sons, Scott and Andrew. Scott later joined full time. Over decades, the family explored and gathered data across large stretches of the Yukon, amassing and refining a unique and high-quality exploration portfolio.

Through their prospecting company, 18526 Yukon Inc., the Berdahls stake their first claims in the Rogue Plutonic Complex, targeting Reduced Intrusion Related Gold Systems (RIRGS) mineralization at Snowline’s present-day Gracie target.
Working under an option deal from 18526 Yukon Inc., Golden Predator Corp. geologist/prospector team, Shane and Luke Carlos discover outcropping mineralization associated with an unmapped instrusion at Valley. In a subsequent bear market, the claims are allowed to return.
The Berdahl family, together with mining entrepreneur Keith Neumeyer, publicly launch 18526 Yukon Inc’s gold-focused assets through reverse-takeover and complete an initial capital raise to kick off Snowline Gold’s inaugural season.
2021 was a pivotal year for Snowline, marked by two significant gold discoveries from first-ever drill programs. At the Jupiter target, drilling intersected widespread gold mineralization, confirming a new epizonal orogenic gold system and setting the tone for Snowline’s exploration success. The team followed up with another breakthrough at the Valley target, where long intervals of near-surface gold mineralization confirmed the presence of a reduced intrusion-related gold system—unlocking the district-scale potential of the Rogue Project.
In just two years, Snowline transformed Valley from an exciting discovery into a globally significant gold deposit, with an initial Mineral Resource Estimate at 4.1 Moz indicated and 3.3 Moz inferred gold.
Snowline’s momentum continues with another milestone—the Preliminary Economic Assessment for Valley confirms strong gold production potential, low operating costs, and a long-life mine with room to grow. The PEA demonstrates C$6.8B NPV₅% (US$3,150/oz Au) for the 100%-owned Valley deposit, hosting 7.94 million ounces of gold in a best-in-class reduced intrusion-related system.
