High-Grade Intercepts From Ikkari And Heinä South

Rupert Resources announced new assay results from recent drilling at Heinä South and Ikkari. Drill hole #124019 intersected multiple zones of locally bonanza grade gold mineralization at Heina South with the best intersection returning 25m @ 16.5g/t Au, including 1m @ 363g/t Au and 2m @ 10.8g/t Au. Drilling at the prospect is ongoing with […]

Mustajärvi Depth Extension

Firefox Gold reported results from an additional six drill holes, totaling 1617.5m of drilling at its Mustajärvi gold project in northern Finland. The program was successful in extending the gold mineralization of the east target at depth. Drill hole 23MJ013 successfully intersected multiple high-grade zones of gold mineralization including 13.5m @ 3.16g/t Au from 230.6m. […]

High-Grade Intersections From Vanha Prospect

Aurion Resources reported assay results from four holes drilled at the Vanha prospect in the Kaaresselkä area. All of the four holes encountered gold mineralization, with the best intersection grading 3.68g/t Au over 11.35m (KS23071), thereby extending a higher-grade envelope some 30m towards the east. According to the company, the prospect remains open in all […]

Firefox Gold Exploration Update

Firefox Gold announced the completion of a six-hole, 1617.5m drilling campaign at its Mustajärvi gold project. Testing the depth extension of the near-surface, high-grade gold zone at the east target, the drilling intersected several intervals of quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-pyrite veining and intense alteration. Assay results are expected in early March. Surface sampling at the Jeesiö project further […]

Kuusisuo Li Project Similarities To Cinovec

Great Northern Minerals reported encouraging petrography and mineralogy results from its Kuusisuo Li project in Finland. Thin section analysis and LA-ICP-MS probing resulted in the identification of striking similarities between the lithium mineralization at Kuusisu and the giant Cinovec deposit in the Czech Republic (708.2Mt @ 4,300 ppm Li2O, 500 ppm Sn and 200 ppm […]

Kuittila Inferred Resource & New Geochemical Target

Endomines published a new inferred mineral resource estimate for its Kuittila gold project, amounting to 814.7Kt @ 1.88g/t Au for a total of 49 170 oz of gold. Drill testing of the deep extensions of the mineralized system started at the end of January and is expected to run for two months. The company further reported […]

Drilling At Korsnäs TSF Commenced

Prospech Limited announced the commencement of drilling at the Korsnäs historical tailings storage facility. The planned 50-hole campaign aims to assess the REE potential of the historic tailings storage facility and is scheduled to be completed by the end of February.   Drilling at the Korsnäs historic tailings storage facility (Source: www.prospech.com.au)

Black Schist Project Drill Results

Metals One reported assay results from a 1551m, eight-hole diamond drilling program at its black schist project in Finland. Mineralized black schists were intersected in all holes, grading e.g. 14.7m @ 0.18%Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.01%Co & 0.57% Zn in drill hole RAU0002. Drilling further confirmed the synformal nature of the mineralized layers, prompting the company […]

Bonanza Gold Grades From Heinä South

Rupert Resources published initial results from winter drilling at its Heinä South prospect, returning e.g. 24m @ 1.1g/t Au in drill hole 124001 or 2m @ 558g/t Au, including 1m @ 1115g/t Au in drill hole 124006. The drill program is ongoing with a focus on new targets in Area 1, Ikkari depth and strike […]

EM Conductors Identified At Kopsa

Northgold published results from a ground EM survey conducted at its flagship Kopsa project in November 2023. The geophysical survey resulted in the identification of two larger conductive bodies (conductors 2 and 3) below the Kopsa deposit and additional conductive features towards the southwest of the deposit. The conductors below the deposit appear to be […]
