Additional High-Grade From Mustajärvi

Firefox Gold reported more assay results from recent drilling at its Mustajärvi project. Two holes drilled at the east target continued to intersect high-grade, near-surface gold mineralization, returning 13.05m @ 15.04g/t Au from 29.6m in hole 22MJ024 and 12.55m @ 14.34 g/t Au from 14.3m in hole 22MJ025. Notably, hole 24 also intersected a deeper, […]

First Visual Mineralization From Pulju

Nordic Nickel reported first visual results from its recently commenced drill program at its Pulju Nickel project in northern Finland. An initial hole has been completed (HOT001: 1109.5m) with two more currently ongoing (HOT002: 470m, HOT003: 863m). Notably, HOT003 intersected an approx 30m wide zone of semi-massive and net-textured sulfides from 140m to 170m. BHEM […]

Jokisivu Underground Drill Results

Dragon Mining reported assay results from several underground drill campaigns at its Jokisivu Gold Mine in southern Finland. Highlighted intersections returned e.g. 21.45m @ 4.11g/t Au, including 1.10m @ 17.15g/t Au in HU/JS-1194 (Camaign 2) or 2.6m @ 57.31 g/t Au, including 1.6m @ 89.88g/t Au in HU/JS-1204 (Campaign 3).   Vertical view over the […]

Northgold Project Acquisition

Northgold AB announced the acquisition of Northern Aspect Resources Oy from Rupert Resources. Northern Aspect holds a portfolio of gold exploration permits and applications in the vicinity of Northgold’s Kopsa and Kiimala Trend projects, amounting to 6471 ha. The claims include numerous early-stage gold prospects as well as the Hirsikangas project with an NI 43-101 […]

Aurion Discovers Gold-Copper Mineralization

Aurion Resources reported the discovery of a new gold-copper mineralization along the Helmi-Kutuvuoma trend. Several holes drilled approximately 2km west of the Helmi discovery intersected gold and copper mineralized zones returning e.g. 6m @ 6.25g/t Au and 0.24% Cu and 12.8m@ 0.26 g/t Au and 1.07 % Cu in drill hole KUE22028. For 2023 the […]

Kopsa – Additional Permit Application Filed

Northgold AB submitted an auxiliary mine area permit application for its Kopsa gold and copper project. The application seeks a road alignment connecting the existing, granted mining concession with public roads to allow for mined material to be transported to potential future off-site processing facilities.   Map showing proposed auxiliary mine area (road connection) at […]

Firefox Gold Exploration Update

Firefox Gold provided an exploration update for its Jeesiö and Northern Group projects. Exploration trenching and bedrock sampling resulted in anomalous gold values, including a sample returning 33.6g/t Au from the Katajavaara Hill prospect at Jeesiö. Bedrock mapping at the Sarvi property resulted in the identification of several new alteration zones and mineralized chert with […]

Mustajärvi East Target Extended

Firefox Gold reported more high-grade gold intercepts from its Mustajärvi project in northern Finland. Initial results from a 6-hole drill program to test the extent of high-grade gold mineralization at the East Target returned e.g. 15.5m @ 13.09 g/t Au, including 3.6m @ 16.45 g/t Au and 6.5m @ 19.18g/t Au in hole 22MJ021. Notably, […]

High-Grade Gold From Risti

Aurion Resources reported the intersection of multiple zones of gold mineralization at its Kaaresselkä prospect. The best intercept in drill hole KS22027 returned 17.12g/t Au and 0.55% Cu over 5.9m, including 24.36g/t Au and 0.75% Cu over 4m. The mineralization is hosted by highly deformed sericite-silica altered mafic volcanic rocks containing minor to moderate amounts […]

Kopsa Strike Extension

Northgold reported additional gold assays from recent drilling at its flagship Kopsa gold project in central Finland. Assays from five holes, drilled in the western part of the deposit returned e.g. 14.6m @ 1.23 g/t Au, including 4.75m @ 2.58g/t Au in drill hole NGKOP22011, extending the mineralization up to 60m to the west. The […]
