FFOX – Potential Gold Hosting Structures Identified

Firefox Gold announced the identification of potential gold hosting structures at its Naula project in the western portion of the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt. Interpretation of a UAV magnetic survey resulted in the identification of two significant, not previously mapped, NNE-SSW striking structures. While awaiting the granting of the Naula exploration permit, the company is […]

High-Grade Gold Confirmed At Kopsa

Northgold reported initial drill results from its Kopsa gold project in central Finland. Drill hole NGKOP22001 was successful in confirming broad intervals of high-grade gold mineralization in the central part of the deposit, returning 3.9g/t Au over 98.7m. To date, 13 drill holes totaling 2400m have been completed at Kopsa with gold assays pending for […]

Further Gold Mineralization from Helmi

Aurion Resources reported further gold mineralization from drilling at the Helmi discovery, advanced by JV partner and operator B2-Gold. Among the assay results from the final holes of the 2021 winter drilling campaign, drill hole IKK22034 intersected 1.46g/t Au over 33m and 2.11g/t Au over 21.70m. In addition, scout drilling to the northwest of Helmi […]

Resource Expansion Targets Identified At LK

Resource Expansion Targets

Palladium One reported the identification of new resource expansion targets at its LK PGE-Ni-Cu project in northern Finland. Following the completion of a high-resolution drone magnetic survey and a reconnaissance IP survey, the company identified the Lota zone as a high-priority target for resource growth. The Lota zone is interpreted as a flat-lying extension of […]

High-Grade Gold from Mustajärvi

High-Grade Gold from Mustajarvi

Firefox Gold reported high-grade gold intercepts from recent drilling at its Mustajärvi project. Drilling at the East Target returned high-grade, near-surface gold mineralization in 4 holes, highlighted by 13.85m @ 14.39g/t Au in drill hole 22MJ006. The gold mineralization at the East Target sits in pervasively albite altered tuffites with blebs, nests, dissemination, and more […]

Penikat Exploration Target Defined

Kingsrose Mining published an exploration target estimate for its Penikat PGE-Nickel-Copper project in Finland. The JORC exploration target ranges from 21-32 million tonnes @ 4 to 7.4g/t 6E (the sum of platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, and gold), amounting to 2.8-7.7 million ounces 6E. Whereas conceptual in nature, the company notes that this target ranks […]

Sotkamo Silver – Updated Resource Estimates

Sotkamo Silver announced updated resource and reserve estimates, indicating a substantial increase in mine life. According to the new estimate, the resources amount to 9,242 Mt @ 54g/t Ag, 0,2g/t Au, 0,23% Pb and 0,56% Zn while the reserves amount to 1,909 Mt @104g/t Ag, 0,29g/t Au, 0,22% Pb and 0.52% Zn.   Silver Mine […]

Nordic Nickel – Encouraging Test Work Results

Nordic Nickel reported encouraging first-pass mineralogical and chemical test work results from its Hotinvaara nickel mineralization in northern Finland. Two bulk samples, averaging grades of 0.238% Ni and 0.714%Ni, returned a high Ni-in-Sulfide content (83% in sample 1 and 94% in sample 2), simple sulfide mineralogy with good liberation characteristics, and zero detected arsenic. The […]
