Sarvi Reconnaissance Drilling Completed
Firefox Gold announced the completion of a second drill program at its Sarvi project in northern Finland. The follow-up reconnaissance program consisted of four holes totaling 611m, testing a combination of BOT, structural and geological targets. Drilling intersected quartz-carbonate (tourmaline) veining with sulfides and sulfide-bearing carbonaceous sediments at the contact with mafic volcanic rocks. Assays […]
Capella Minerals – Exploration Permits Granted
Capella Minerals announced it received several exploration permits, covering five copper-gold targets in northern Finland. Initially, the company will focus on evaluating the potential extension of the historic Saattopora Au-Cu mine as well as to follow up a historic bottom of till anomaly with values up to 5962 ppm Cu in the Killero E target […]
Hammaslahti Drilling Commences
Bluejay Mining announced the start of diamond drilling at its Hammaslahti Copper-Zinc-Lead-Gold-Silver project in Eastern Finland. Initially, the company plans to test the high-grade E-lode, discovered in 2014 with 1500-2000m. Drilling will target up and down-plunge extensions but also provide infill drill holes to delineate a maiden resource estimate. Due to its proximity to the […]
Assay Results Confirm Large System
Nordic Nickel reported assay results for its first hole drilled at the Pulju Nickel project in Northern Finland. Drill hole HOT001, drilled to a depth of 1110m intersected multiple, wide zones of nickel mineralization, returning e.g. 94.15m @ 0.2% Ni from 6.4m, 38.7m @ 0.26% Ni from 149.3m, 38m @ 0.18% Ni from 226m, 93.3m […]
Endomines – Exploration And Development Updates
Endomines reported first drill results from exploration drilling at the Korvilansuo prospect, located approximately 20km to the south of Pampalo. Initial assay results for a 5000m exploration program returned e.g. 0.8m @ 15.1g/t Au in drill hole KVS-69. The company further announced plans to start gold production in the Hosko area, located approx. 10km to […]
Aurion Stakes New Ground
Aurion Resources announced the claiming of new properties, prospective for gold and critical minerals in northeastern Finland. The generally underexplored region includes large areas that are considered to be prospective for lithium with historic till data showing anomalous lithium values on a regional scale. Gold has previously been discovered at the Auermavaara prospect with values […]
Copper Assays From Kopsa
Northgold reported copper assays from its Kopsa gold-copper project, where the company recently drilled 25 holes for a total of 4241m. The now-reported copper assays increase the metal value of the previously reported intercepts by 20%, resulting in a weighted average gold equivalent grade of 1.26g/t AuEq. Following the receipt of the copper assays, the […]
Gemdale Gold Portfolio Update
Gemdale Gold announced the staking of new ground in SE Finland. The newly claimed Savo project covers a shear-hosted gold deposit with more than 25 000m of historical drilling and an inferred resource of 3.23Mt @ 2.7g/t Au for 276 000oz Au. In addition, the company received final approval for the Nuotti and Perä exploration […]
Korsnäs REE Potential
Prospech Limited reported on initial investigation of historic drill core from the Korsnäs project. Inspection of the drill core revealed that historic sampling strongly focused on core with visible lead mineralization but overlooked zones of the potentially REE mineralized carbonatite. Following, Prospech’s geologists collected 65 core samples from the previously unsampled, prospective carbonatite. Notably, the […]
