Kolima – VMS Targeting Update

Avrupa Minerals provided sampling results and a progress update from its Kolima VMS project in central Finland. Relogging and sampling of four historic drill holes confirmed the presence of distal VMS style, disseminated zinc mineralization. Interestingly, holes collared in the western limb of the Kärnä anticline show stronger mineralization than the holes collared into the […]

Helmi Discovery Extended

Aurion Resources provided an update from its Helmi project advanced together with JV partner B2 Gold. Results from 14 holes from the 2022 winter drilling program returned several new intercepts at Helmi, e.g. 2.44g/t Au over 43.45m in drill hole IKK22029. Notably, an intersection of 39m @ 1.46g/t Au in drill hole IKK22025 significantly extends […]

Kylmäkangas Maiden Resource Published

Gold Line Resources announced a maiden resource estimate for its Kylmäkangas gold deposit in the Oijärvi greenstone belt in northern Finland. The estimate amounts to 159000 oz AuEq, confined in 1.07 Mt of ore, grading 4.6g/t AuEq in the indicated category and 152000 oz AuEq amounting to 1.63 Mt @ 2.9g/t AuEq in the inferred […]

Northgold Drills First 1500m At Kopsa

Northgold announced the completion of the first 1500m of a previously announced, ongoing, 5000m drill program at its Kopsa project in central Finland.
