Lat 66 Presents Scoping Study Results

Latitude 66 published results from a scoping study for its KSB Gold-Cobalt project in northern Finland. The study is based on open pit mining, gravity, and carbon in leach processing as well as access to good infrastructure and water resources. The study highlights a 7.2-year mine life with an average annual production of 65,000oz Au […]

Firefox Provides Exploration Update On Kolho Project

Firefox Gold provided an update for its Kolho property where, under an earn-in agreement, Agnico Eagle is operating the exploration campaign. In 2024, work focused on the Nuttio permit, the first approved exploration permit within the larger property package. The initial work consisted of a property-wide ground gravity survey and a bottom-of-till sampling program resulting […]

Valkea Reports Assay Results From Maiden Campaign

Valkea Resources published assay results from its maiden drilling campaign at the Aarnivalkea prospect in Northern Finland. A total of 6 diamond holes for a total of 1997m have been testing two zones within the larger prospect. The best grades were intersected at the Koivu zone, where drilling intersected high-grades up and down dip of […]

Pampalo Depth Continuation Confirmed

Endomines publish assay results from its 2024 drilling campaign at the Pampalo gold mine. The program consisted of 47 diamond drill holes for a total of 4872m, targeting the planned production area between the 915 and 975m levels and testing the continuation of the mineralization below the 1055m level. Notably, the step out holes testing […]

Aurion Reports More High-Grade Gold

Aurion Resources reported results from six holes drilled at the Vanha prospect in northern Finland. Notably, drill hole KS25097 intersected 13.60m @ 7.92g/t Au, including 1m @ 57.6g/t Au in a 40m step out from previous drilling at the eastern extent of the prospect. In addition, a scout hole intersected 12.05m @ 0.63g/t Au, including […]

Northgold Updates Kopsa Resource Estimate

Northgold published an updated resource estimate for its flagship Kospa Au-(Cu) project in southern Finland. The resource update was based on the incorporation of historic drilling together with recent confirmation drilling north of the previous resource estimate and represents a 9% increase in AuEq ounces to now 818,800 AuEq ounces (23.2MT @ 1.09G7t AuEq).   […]

Firefox Gold Discovers New Conductors At Mustajärvi

Firefox Gold published results from downhole and fixed loop EM surveys at the East Target at its Musatajärvi gold project in northern Finland. Surveying three deeper drill holes was successful in identifying multiple, in and off-hole conductors near the historic drilling area, confirming the company’s model of pyrite-associated, stacked, and discontinuous lodes of locally bonanza-grade […]

Lat 66 Starts RC Trial At KSB Project

Latitude 66 announced the start of an RC drilling program at its KSB gold project in northern Finland. The program will test the K6E and K6W IP anomalies that are coincident with mineralized boulder samples. The use of an RC rig is rather uncommon in northern Europe and serves as a trial campaign, that could, […]

Mawson Reports First Assay Results From Winter Drilling

Mawson Finland reported the first results from its ongoing winter drilling program at the Rajapalot project in Northern Finland. The company currently has four diamond rigs actively drilling at multiple prospects.

Endomines Discovers New Gold Prospect

Endomines announced the discovery of a new potential zone of gold mineralization at the Ukkolanvaara prospect in the central part of the Karelian gold line. Sampling of the Ukkolanvaara banded iron formation revealed gold grades of up to 1.75g/t Au in the iron-rich outcrops. Due to the well-known correlation between iron formations and gold mineralization, […]
