Pampalo Mineralization Extended

Endomines reported a high-grade gold intercept from exploration drilling testing the down-dip continuation of the Pampalo gold deposit. Drill hole T-1827 returned 6m @ 9.2g/t Au, including 0.9m @ 36.4g/t Au. The gold mineralization was intercepted 235m below the current production level, indicating the continuation of mineralization to at least the 1050m level.   Pampalo […]

Exploration Trenching Results From Rääpysjärvi

Beowulf Mining reported on encouraging exploration results from its wholly owned subsidiary Grafintec Oy. Four exploration trenches testing a conductive anomaly intersected significant flake graphite mineralization, grading e.g. 10.6m @ 4.33% total graphitic carbon (TGC) and 3.8m @ 5.77% TGC in trench RAA-TR1-22, or 1m @ 26% TGC in trench RAA-TR4-22. According to the company, […]

Kopsa – Mineralization Extended At Depth

Northgold reported on additional gold assays from its flagship Kopsa gold project in central Finland. The newly reported drill holes aimed to further delineate the high-grade zones in the western part of the deposit, as well as to test its down-dip continuity in the SW. Notably, drill hole NGKOP22014, collared from outside the historic drilling […]

Drilling Update From Sotkamo

Sotkamo Silver published drill results from surface and underground drilling carried out at the silver mine between Q4/2021 – Q3/2022. Drill results support a previous view of higher grades between the 360-420m levels and confirmed mineralization of similar grade and width down plunge the deposit between 500-700m. Drill hole P-01 furthermore intersected additional mineralization along […]

Pulju – Exploration Licenses Granted

Historic drillholes Nickel Intresections Legend

Nordic Nickel was granted six new exploration licenses in the Greater Pulju area. The newly granted landholdings comprise 78.18 km2 of prospective ground for nickel sulfide exploration, including multiple areas of known nickel mineralization. Notably, the company has a further 10 license applications currently pending that would, once granted, allow it to control the entirety […]

Bluejay Mining – Enonkoski Update

Bluejay Mining provided an update on its Enonkoski Rio Tinto Joint venture project. Recent activities include magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, and handheld XRF measurements on historic drill core from the Makkola prospect as well as the commencement of a 670-station, ground gravity survey over the wider Makkola-Hälvälä area, aiming to generate new drill targets. The company […]

DHEM Results From Pulju

Nordic Nickel published results from recent geophysics at its Pulju project in northern Finland. Results from DHEM surveying of 17 historic holes at the Hotinvaara prospect show multiple conductors that correlate with historic intersects above >0.5% Ni. The modeled plates confirm the continuity of mineralization in multiple directions, underlining the potential to expand the existing, […]

Risti Exploration Update

Aurion Resources provided an exploration update from its Risti project in northern Finland. Testing high-priority targets, defined by ongoing geochemical and geophysical surveying resulted in the intersection of gold mineralization in 17 out of 23 drill holes. In addition to gold assays from the Aamurusko and the Notches targets, the company also identified gold and […]

Ikkari PEA Published

Rupert Resources published a preliminary economic assessment, including both the flagship Ikkari discovery and the Pahtavaara mine and mill. The study is based on a 22 life of mine at Ikkari with a transition from open pit to underground between years 11 and 12. During operation, a total of 4.25 million oz of gold are […]

Pontio Exploration Update

Gemdale Gold provided an exploration update from its flagship Pontio Gold project in central Finland. Percussion sampling along strike of the M2 mineralized trend at Pontio resulted in the extension of the gold-in-bedrock anomaly 1.5km to the south of the southernmost drill hole as well as another 200m to the north of the northernmost drill […]
