Promising Discovery In Eastern Finland

Endomines reported initial assay results from an ongoing drilling program at the Ukkolanvaara prospect at the southern Gold Line in eastern Finland. The first drill hole intersected multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralization associated with the iron formations occurring in the area. 95m @ 3.28g/t Au from 45.55m, including 9.35m @ 7.08g/t Au from 48.45m, […]

Update On BHP – Kingsrose Exploration Alliance

Kingsrose Mining provided an update on its Exploration Alliance with BHP. After spending two million USD on the Central Finland Project to date, BHP has elected to terminate the Central Finland Alliance and focus its exploration efforts on Finnmark. All exploration tenure in central Finland, including the recently acquired Jakon project will be retained 100% […]

Nordic Resources Provides Kiimala Trend Update

Nordic Resources provided an update on the Kiimala Trend gold project in central Finland, which is currently being acquired from Northgold AB. Data verification of the historic drilling data confirmed several important intersections for example, 122.4m @ 1.52g/t Au & 0.12% Cu in historic hole BELANG004 at the Angesneva prospect. The project contains multiple drilled […]

Prospech Provides An Update On Metallurgical Results

Ostrobotnia, Finland: Prospech Limited reported results from an ongoing metallurgical study at its Korsnäs REE project in western Finland. Based on five 20kg composite samples from drill core and tailings material, the test work to date indicates that apatite is the dominant REE mineral, and liberation characteristics are favorable for downstream beneficiation options. “SEM/AMICS Mineral […]

Visible Gold Intersected At Raja Deeps

Mawson Finland announced the completion of a 33-hole, 11,397m winter drilling program at its Rajapalot gold-cobalt project in northern Finland. Most notably, testing some recently defined downhole conductors at the Raja Deeps prospect resulted in the intersection of multiple zones of disseminated to semi-massive sulfides. While gold assays are still pending, visible gold was observed […]

Lat 66 announced the start of EU research project in Kuusamo

Latitude 66 announced that the Geological Survey of Finland will commence a geophysical work program in the Kuusamo Schist Belt area, including at Lat 66’s KSB project. The work is part of the EU-funded Uncover project and aims to assist mineral exploration in the Kuusamo Schist Belt by enabling screening to a depth of up […]

90% Increase Of Korsnäs Resource

Prospech Limited published an updated mineral resource estimate for its Korsnäs REE project in central Finland. Incorporating additional data from the company’s 2024 drilling campaign and assay data from historic core, the updated resource represents a 90% increase in tonnage compared to the previous estimate. At a 0.5% TREO cut-off grade, the new estimate returned […]

Rupert Provides Regional Exploration Update

Rupert Resources provided an exploration update from its Central Lapland properties surrounding the 4Moz Ikkari discovery. Among others, recent drilling at the Heinä South prospect intersected bonanza grade gold mineralization, assaying e.g. 45.7g/t Au over 8m, including 362g/t Au over 1m in drill hole #125001. In addition, a 13-line, 26km IP survey, and follow-up drilling […]

Avrupa Provides Update On Rauhala Project

Avrupa Minerals provided an update on the Rauhala VMS deposit in the Vihanti-Pyhäsalmi mining district in central Finland. The deposit was discovered in 1985 and subsequently drilled by Outokumpu, resulting in a historical resource of 880,500t? @ 1.6% Cu, 6.1% Zn, 1% Pb, 0.5 g/t Au, and 49 g/t Ag. Recent data compilation work by […]

Sulfides Intersected In Successful RC Program

Latitude 66 reported the intersection of sulfides in an RC trial program at its KSB North project in northeastern Finland. The drilling program tested geophysical anomalies and geochemical targets at two of the company’s prospects in northern Finland. Notably, drill hole K6RC009 intersected 16m of disseminated sulfides close to a high-grade boulder (8.8g/t Au & […]
