Remaining Assay Results From Kopsa

Northgold reported the remaining gold and copper drill results from its 2023 resource expansion drilling program at the Kopsa gold project. All of the six final holes encountered gold and copper mineralization outside the previously defined resource envelope, e.g. 0.91g/t AuEq over 105.2m, including 13.06g/t AuEq over 3.4m in drill hole NGKOP23029. An updated resource […]

Ikkari Resource Update

Rupert Resources published an updated mineral resource estimate for its Ikkari project. Based on 111,896m of diamond drilling, the updated resource now contains 58.43 Mt @ 2.18g/t Au for a total of 4.09Moz contained gold in the indicated category and 3.58Mt @ 1.18g/t Au for 136,000oz contained gold in the inferred category. Following a previous […]

Korsnäs REE Discovery

Prospech Limited provided a comprehensive update on its Korsnäs REE project. Assessment of a large amount of data associated with the historic Korsnäs lead mine resulted in the recognition of the projects, previously overlooked, REE potential. Resampling of historic drill core resulted in locally thick and high-grade intersections of REE mineralization, e.g., 27.6m @ 19,744ppm […]

Additional Assay Results From Pulju

Nordic Nickel reported assay results from additional nine diamond drill holes from recent drilling at its Pulju project, returning e.g. 41.1m @ 0.25% Ni, including 0.45m @ 2.4% Ni, 0.11% Co and 100m @ 0.21% Ni, including 0.55m @ 1.17% Ni and 0.05% Co in drill hole HOT026. The company notes that assay results for […]

New Gold Occurrences Identified At Risti

Aurion Resources reported the intersection of four new gold occurrences on its wholly owned Risti project. Targeting geochemical and geophysical anomalies, a 36-hole scout drilling program resulted in the identification of mineralization further to the west of the Vanha prospect (3.63g/t Au over 3.2m) as well as in new intersections along NW trending structures up […]

Sukula Lithium Project Exploration Results

Great Northern Minerals reported rock chip sampling results from its first pass exploration program at the Sukula project, bordering United Lithium’s Kietyönmäki project. Assay results returned up to 0.1% Li2O and 408ppm Ta2O5, resulting in the definition of four high-priority areas for highly fractionated LCT pegmatites (Sukula NW, Sukula Central, Sukula West, and Sukula North). Notably, […]

Copper Assays From Kopsa

Northgold reported copper assays from three important step-out drill holes at its Kopsa project. Following the reception of the copper assays the improved intersections now grade e.g. 0.99g/t AuEq over 105.7m, including 1.41 g/t AuEq over 34.2m and 1.34g/t AuEq over 37.75m in drill hole NGKOP23034. Assays for another 8 drill holes from the 2023 […]

Kuusisuo Lithium Sampling Results

Great Northern Minerals reported assay results from rock chip sampling at its Kuusisuo lithium project in Finland. The sampling program returned up to 0.32% LiO2 in a newly discovered area of lithium mineralization 200-500m to the south of an area with historic drilling, indicating a potentially large-scale mineralized system extending for at least 1.3km at […]

Drilling Underway At Pontio

Gemdale Gold reported the completion of a capital raise as well as encouraging initial results from new drilling at its Pontio Gold project in western Finland. Following the capital raise, the company started drill testing the southern part of the M2 trend, where previous BOT sampling indicates the continuation of gold mineralization. Initial visual results […]

High-Grade REE Intersections

Prospech Limited reported high-grade REE intersections from re-assaying of historic drill core from its Korsnäs REE project in Finland. The assay results from 40 historic drill holes returned multiple zones of thick REE mineralization, e.g. 27.6m @ 19,774 ppm TREO, including 16.1m @ 32,717 ppm TREO in drill hole KR-139 or 7.7m @ 34,191 ppm […]
