first of all it appears to be a private company
Second of all...it smells a bit dodgy to me.
Here is their website...and their "Plan" page.
http://www.titanwestexplorations.com/the-plan
This is a placer gold mine...this means a gravel bed hopefully loaded with gold ore...there will be a sluice of some kind, the gravel/sand bearing gold dust is fed into the top....sluiced with water...the gravel is washed down the sluice and gold flakes lodged in stages of the sluice.
Here is what a sluice box looks like on a big industrial scale

here is one on a smaller scale
http://www.prospectingchannel.com/keene-sluice-box...
What are the pictures in website showing you? They are not showing a Placer mine....they are showing an open pit mine...huge boulders...you don't wash those with water to get out the gold :)
If you click on the link for "Water and Work permits" you get this page
http://titanwestexplorations.com/carmacks_wl_water...
There it spells out under undertaking that this is a Placer mine.....note also the permit is not made out to Titan West Explorations....nopes it does not even identify the company....it is made out to a "David Trainer"....Oh!...perhaps he is a significant person in the company then

Funny....he didn't make this list though he may be related to Veron Trainer....hmmmmm.
Go back to that "Plan" page where they show pictures of their equipment...see the mention of the 2 bulldozers mentioned....huge hauling truck shown though
http://www.tractorparts.com/images/catcrawler/Cat%...
This is what a D6 Caterpillar bulldozer looks like....does it look the same???? NO!!! What is with that??? showing equipment that they don't have....hmmmmm
http://xml.catmms.com/servlet/ImageServlet?imageId...
here is a picture of a Caterpiller 966h loader
http://xml.catmms.com/servlet/ImageServlet?imageId...
Does that look like the picture they show??? nopes
Back on the "Plan" page....click on the Drill Charts link
You would expect to see some...yes??? actually they hope you believe they have some but what you see is REALLY what their operation is like...Impressive ??? NOT!!! Nothing like the image they want you to see....not EVEN a sluicebox....a freak'n pipe watering gravel. They show a nugget or two taht could have come out of anywhere...same for the baggies of gold.
Look at the laughable drill charts....hand made notes of "colour"..that might be a slang for gold....but there is only one page that shows any color at any significance
Now I am not saying there is no gold there....there is placer gold everywhere in the Yukon....the mines are for sale here
http://www.homeandweb.com/placer-gold-mine-bc.htm
and they are common for family recreation in some places.
Is this a mine worth investing in? I will leave that up to you but I doubt it goes public....if it is a private investment...Best of British to you :)

It's a scam. They have a cease trade order from the BC Securities Commission. These guys are crooks and owe money to everyone and have illegally take money.
