[{"type":"text","content":"Stakeholder Celebrates Klondike Gold Discovery DayToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 18, 2025) - Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSXV: SRC) (OTC Pink: SKHRF) (\"Stakeholder\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to celebrate Klondike Gold Discovery Day. Discovery Day has been a statutory holiday in the Yukon Territory since 1911 and falls on the third Monday of August each year. On August 16th, 1896 George Carmack and his wife Kate (Shaaw Tláa) found gold on Rabbit Creek, a tributary of the great Yukon River, near to what is today the town of Dawson City. The next day, they staked claims along the creek. When the prospectors reached Alaska to sell their gold in July of 1897, the news sparked one of the world's greatest gold rushes. Yukon was made into a Territory of Canada the following year (June 1898).Klondiker on White Pass Trail ca. 1898To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3082/262883_340d68e5e449dbf5_001full.jpgAs the news spread, hundreds of thousands of Klondikers soon followed.
