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 […]
Sinermä Mineralization Extended
Aurion Resources reported the intersection of gold mineralization in multiple drill holes at the Sinermä prospect, advanced together with JV partner B2 Gold. Drilling intersected shallow gold mineralization over approx. 450m strike length, returning e.g. 30.2m @ 0.65g/t Au (SIN23013) or 30.2m @ 0.54 g/t Au in drill hole SIN23020. The mineralization was originally discovered […]
Helmi Depth Extension
Aurion Resources reported more drill results from its B2 JV project, including the intersection of deep mineralization at the Helmi prospect. Amongst other intervals, drill hole IKK22043 intersected 57.3m @ 1.07g/t Au from 360.8m, confirming the Helmi depth extension and providing important information regarding the geometry of the mineralization. In addition, drill hole KUE 22035 […]
Pulju UAV-Magnetic Results
Nordic Nickel released results from a district-scale magnetic survey, underlining the area’s potential for multiple Hotinvaara-style ultramafic intrusives. The 269-line km UAV magnetic survey identified multiple magnetic anomalies with similar characteristics to Hotinavaara, of which some are known to correlate with the Ni-Cu-Co prospective Mertavaara Formation. Notably, the P3 anomaly could represent an untested, sub-cropping […]
Firefox Gold – New Permit Granted
Firefox Gold was granted the first of six exploration permits along the Kolho trend in northern Finland. To date, the area has seen only limited exploration efforts, although the geology is interpreted to be similar to the host rocks of the Kittilä and Ikkari gold deposits. Following the granting of the Nuttio exploration permit a […]
Northgold Exploration Update
Northgold provided an exploration update from its Kopsa and Kiimala Trend projects. A 2500m core drilling program for 2023 has already commenced and will test resource extension but also early-stage targets at Kopsa as well as the Pääneva and Alakylä targets at the Kiimala Trend project. Drilling will further be guided by recently completed IP […]
