Avira Resources reported final assay results from its phase 1 drilling program at the Puolalaki Ni-Cu-Co-Au project in northern Sweden. Targeting a fixed loop EM conductor, drill hole PUO23005 intercepted several zones of high-grade gold mineralization returning e.g., 9.57m @ 3.82g/t Au from 494.63m or 4.5m @ 3.04g/t Au from 513m. In conjunction with known gold mineralization from historic drilling, the gold mineralization has now been defined over at least 450m along strike with the intercept in PUO23005 further representing a significant depth extension of the gold system.
In addition to the gold mineralization at depth and low-grade nickel-copper mineralization in the upper parts, the drill hole further intersected a 0.8m wide zone of massive sulfides at around 227m that could correlate with a newly identified off-hole conductor around the same depth.
