High-Grade Au From Karelian Gold Line

High-Grade Au From Karelian Gold Line

Endomines reported the intersection of high-grade gold from its 2023 drill program at the Kuittila prospect along the Karelian gold line. Drill hole KT-015 returned 9.75m @ 17.4g/t Au & 0.12% Mo, including 0.9m @ 157g/t Au & 0.05% Mo as well as 3.9m @ 6.7g/t Au & 0.01% Mo, including 1.1m @ 19.7g/t Au […]

Aurion – New Gold Zones Identified

Aurion Resources reported new assay results from its Kaaresselkä prospect. Gold mineralization was encountered in every hole with highlighted assay results returning e.g. 8.25g/t Au over 4.30m in drill hole KS23034. Mineralization at the Vanha trend is now defined for more than 500m along strike with the system remaining open at depth and along strike. […]

Korsnäs – High-Grade REE Assays

Prospech Limited reported high-grade REE values at its Korsnäs project from a comprehensive historic dataset that has been preserved by the Geological Survey of Finland. Highlighted historic REE assays include e.g. 2.77m @ 47,500ppm TREO in drill hole KR-285 or 4.86m @ 18,000ppm TREO in drill hole KR-292. The company notes that in addition to […]

Pampalo – High Gold Grades From New Levels

Endomines reported high-grade gold intercepts from underground drilling at the Pampalo mine. The 4487m drill program targeted an area between the 875m and 955m mine levels, 80m below the current production area. Highlighted results include e.g. 4.7m @ 22.3g/t Au (14.4g/t when capped at 20g/t Au) in drill hole T-1833 or 6.4m @ 20g/t Au […]

Hotinvaara Footprint Extended

Nordic Nickel reported assay results for an additional three drill holes from ongoing drilling at its Pulju Nickel project in northern Finland. Highlighted intercepts include for example 86m @ 0.18% Ni in drill hole HOT004, 54m @ 0.19% Ni in drill hole HOT005, or 70m @ 0.18% Ni in drill hole HOT010. The company notes […]

Launi East Option Agreement

Launi East Option Agreement

Aurion Resources signed a definitive option agreement with Kinross Gold regarding the Launi East property. Under the agreement, Kinross can earn 70% in the property by spending a minimum of 10 million USD before the 7th anniversary of the agreement. The company further advised the termination of the Silaskaira option agreement with Kinross.   Aurion […]

Promising Visuals From Kopsa

Northgold reported promising visual results from recent drilling at its Kopsa flagship project. Drill hole NGKOP23034, the deepest hole completed in 2023, returned two intervals of intense quartz veining and/or silicic alteration with sulfide mineralization for a combined width of 63m. While assays are currently pending the mineralized intervals appear similar to previous high-grade intersections […]

New Discovery South Of Helmi

Aurion Resources announced the discovery of a new zone of gold mineralization several kilometers south of the previous Helmi discovery, returning 1.33g/t Au over 8.3m in drill hole VUO23007. Notably, the new mineralization (“Vuoma”) was discovered by drill testing the less explored southern contact of the Kumpu basin that is known to host gold mineralization […]

Rupert Resources – Exploration Program Commences

Rupert Resources published new drilling results from Ikkari and Ikkari North. At Ikkari, infill drilling continued to intersect high-grade gold mineralization e.g., 4.2g/t Au over 72m in drill hole #123027. At Ikkari North, drilling successfully extended breccia-hosted gold-pyrite mineralization 200m to the east, returning e.g., 2.7g/t Au over 35.1m in drill hole #123059. Notably, the […]

Kopsa Resource Estimate

Northgold published a mineral resource estimate for its Kopsa gold and copper project in central Finland. The estimate is based on the combination of historic data and 4200m drilled by Northdgold in 2022. Combined measured and indicated + inferred resources returned 16.6 Mt @ 0.79g/t Au and 0.16% Cu for 1.03g/t AuEq, containing 424 000 oz […]
