Smash Minerals Corp.

Smash Minerals Corp is a junior exploration company undertaking gold exploration on its Whiskey Gold Property in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Smash holds one of the largest claim blocks in the Yukon, with 4,177 claims extending over a distance of 60 km for a total of 846 square kilometers and lies due east of claims held by Kinross Gold who secured its White Gold District holding in 2010 by acquiring Underworld Resources.

Smash's exploration team, led by Adrian Fleming, made the first significant gold discovery in the White Gold District in the Yukon Territory, Canada with Underworld Resources in 2008. Smash has commenced its Summer 2011 field program on its 100% owned Whiskey Gold Property, following completion of its camp and the receipt of a Class 3 Land Use Permit.

Smash's 2011 field program is designed to further identify preliminary gold targets for an initial phase of drilling in August and September. The current program leverages a comprehensive property wide ridge sampling program undertaken in 2010. Over 7,000 soil samples were collected, followed up by a short phase of field checking. This work led to the identification of three primary targets with soil geochemistry, alteration and mineralization at surface similar to the Golden Saddle discovery made by Underworld Resources in 2008.
