High-Grade Gold From Kopsa

Northgold reported additional gold assays from three holes, drilled at the Kopsa project in central Finland. Testing the down dip expansion of the mineralization along the southeastern edge of the deposit, the assays show continuous gold intersection with locally occurring high grades (e.g. drill hole NGKOP22008: 0.64g/t Au over 112.5m, including 12.51 g/t Au over […]

Mustajärvi – Drill Program Completed

Mustajarvi drill hole plan map

Firefox Gold announced the completion of six shallow holes at the East Target at its Mustajärvi project in northern Finland. Totaling 977m, the drill program aimed to test for depth continuation of previously encountered high grades in drill hole 22MJ006, but also to test recently observed cross-cutting structures. The company expects to report results from […]

Additional Results From Kopsa

Northgold announced new drill results from recent resource expansion drilling at its flagship Kopsa gold-copper project in central Finland. The company reports that all four of the newly released drill holes encountered significant gold mineralization, e.g. 0.63g/t Au over 107.65m, including, 1.43g/t Au over 22.4m in drill hole NGKOP22004 and 0.78g/t Au over 125.1m, including […]

Nordic Nickel Expands Portfolio

Nickel intersctions

Nordic Nickel announced the filing of nine new exploration license applications for a total of 141km2 at its flagship Pulju project. The company further filed an exploration reservation for the 245km2 Tepasto area south of Pulju, where historic exploration identified Copper and Molybdenum mineralization.   Map showing existing and new exploration license applications at Pulju […]

More Mineralization from Helmi

Aurion Resources reported more gold mineralization from the Helmi-Kutuvuoma trend in northern Finland, advanced together with JV partner and operator B2 Gold. Ten out of eleven holes from the summer-fall 2022 drill program intersected gold mineralization, returning e.g., 1.78g/t Au over 15.10m, including 4.78g/t Au over 4.45m in drill hole IKK22040 and 52.5g/t Au over […]

New Gold Mineralization Discovered Along Karelian Gold Line

Endomines announced the discovery of a new gold mineralized zone in the northern part of the Karelian gold line, 20km north of Pampalo. Four drill holes, totaling 400.1m have been drilled at the Kartitsa target, testing the contact zone between the Kartitsa granite and the surrounding schist belt, with the best hole returning 2m @ […]

Kendrick Resources Exploration Update

Kendrick Resources provided an exploration update on its activities in Scandinavia. In Norway, the company continues investigating its Nickel assets, including resampling of historic drill core and meetings with local stakeholders. In Sweden, the company engaged Geovista AB to model geophysical data for the Airijoki and Kullberget projects, collected 521 soil samples at Airijoki and […]

Avrupa Minerals – New Exploration License

Avrupa Minerals announced the application for an additional exploration license in the Pyhäsalmi Mining District in central Finland. The Hallaperä license application covers copper and zinc sulfide mineralization discovered by Outokumpu in 1967. Known mineralization currently extends for more than 1000m and down to a depth of 150m, remaining open down dip.   Location of […]

Rajapalot – Preliminary Economic Assessment

Mawson Gold published results of the maiden preliminary economic assessment on its Rajapalot gold-cobalt project in northern Finland, resulting in robust economics that could place the project as the EU’s third-largest cobalt mine and sixth-largest gold mine. Mining operations are planned as underground-only operations with an expected mine life of currently 9 years and a […]

Beowulf Mining – Graphite Project Update

Beowulf Mining provided an exploration update from the Rääpysjärvi flake graphite project advanced by its wholly-owned subsidiary Grafintec Oy. Results from an EM survey carried out in June 2022 returned 13 highly conductive zones, possibly indicating graphite-bearing rocks, with isolated anomalies extending for up to 850m along strike and 250m in width. Additionally, a total […]
