Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration of shares of its common stock on behalf of certain selling shareholders identified in the registration statement of the Company on Form S-1 (including all amendments, the "Registration Statement").

Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement is a combined prospectus and relates to an aggregate of 32,417,919 shares of common stock of the Company ("Shares"), including (a) 3,801,688 Shares that were previously registered for resale in a registration statement on Form SB-2, Registration No. 333-140674 and covered by our opinion dated February 2, 2007 [Exhibit 5.6], (b) 373,598 Shares that were previously registered for resale in a registration statement on Form SB-2, Registration No. 333-142276 and covered by our opinion dated April 18, 2007 [Exhibit 5.7], (c) 9,543,364 Shares previously registered for resale in a registration statement on Form SB-2, Registration No. 333-137039 and covered by our opinions dated August 31, 2006 [Exhibit 5.4] and October 30, 2006 [Exhibit 5.5].

In connection with the Registration Statement, we have previously opined on 12,172,915 shares covered by a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-149459) in an opinion dated February 26, 2008 [Exhibit 5.7(a)¹] and on an aggregate of 32,417,919 shares covered by Amendment No. 1 to such registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-149459) in an opinion dated May 22, 2008

_______________________________
1 This opinion was listed as Exhibit 5.7 while a previous opinion dated April 18, 2007 was also listed as Exhibit 5.7 (with the result that there were two "Exhibit 5.7s"). In Amendment No. 2, we have listed the February 26, 2008 opinion as Exhibit 5.7(a) in order to preserve the successive numbering of the legal opinion exhibits.
