Firefox Gold Exploration Update

Firefox Gold provided an exploration update for its Jeesiö and Northern Group projects. Exploration trenching and bedrock sampling resulted in anomalous gold values, including a sample returning 33.6g/t Au from the Katajavaara Hill prospect at Jeesiö. Bedrock mapping at the Sarvi property resulted in the identification of several new alteration zones and mineralized chert with […]

Mustajärvi East Target Extended

Firefox Gold reported more high-grade gold intercepts from its Mustajärvi project in northern Finland. Initial results from a 6-hole drill program to test the extent of high-grade gold mineralization at the East Target returned e.g. 15.5m @ 13.09 g/t Au, including 3.6m @ 16.45 g/t Au and 6.5m @ 19.18g/t Au in hole 22MJ021. Notably, […]

High-Grade Gold From Risti

Aurion Resources reported the intersection of multiple zones of gold mineralization at its Kaaresselkä prospect. The best intercept in drill hole KS22027 returned 17.12g/t Au and 0.55% Cu over 5.9m, including 24.36g/t Au and 0.75% Cu over 4m. The mineralization is hosted by highly deformed sericite-silica altered mafic volcanic rocks containing minor to moderate amounts […]

Kopsa Strike Extension

Northgold reported additional gold assays from recent drilling at its flagship Kopsa gold project in central Finland. Assays from five holes, drilled in the western part of the deposit returned e.g. 14.6m @ 1.23 g/t Au, including 4.75m @ 2.58g/t Au in drill hole NGKOP22011, extending the mineralization up to 60m to the west. The […]

Pampalo Mineralization Extended

Endomines reported a high-grade gold intercept from exploration drilling testing the down-dip continuation of the Pampalo gold deposit. Drill hole T-1827 returned 6m @ 9.2g/t Au, including 0.9m @ 36.4g/t Au. The gold mineralization was intercepted 235m below the current production level, indicating the continuation of mineralization to at least the 1050m level.   Pampalo […]

Kopsa – Mineralization Extended At Depth

Northgold reported on additional gold assays from its flagship Kopsa gold project in central Finland. The newly reported drill holes aimed to further delineate the high-grade zones in the western part of the deposit, as well as to test its down-dip continuity in the SW. Notably, drill hole NGKOP22014, collared from outside the historic drilling […]

Drilling Update From Sotkamo

Sotkamo Silver published drill results from surface and underground drilling carried out at the silver mine between Q4/2021 – Q3/2022. Drill results support a previous view of higher grades between the 360-420m levels and confirmed mineralization of similar grade and width down plunge the deposit between 500-700m. Drill hole P-01 furthermore intersected additional mineralization along […]

Nalunaq 2022 Exploration Update

Amaroq Minerals reported results from its 2022 exploration program at the Nalunaq gold deposit in southern Greenland. Aiming to infill the existing resource in the Valley Block as well as to test an up-dip extension, the company drilled 46 diamond holes for a total of 9119m. 42 out of the 46 drill holes intersected the […]

Skaergaard – Resource Update

Major Precious Metals published an updated Mineral Resource estimate for its Skaergaard project. Based upon 42050m of drilling and 1409m of channel sampling, the study defined an indicated resource of 160 Mt @ 2.23g/t PdEq resulting in 11.4 Moz PdEq, including 8.04 Moz Pd, 2.7 Moz Au, and 0.63 Moz Pt at a cut off […]

Risti Exploration Update

Aurion Resources provided an exploration update from its Risti project in northern Finland. Testing high-priority targets, defined by ongoing geochemical and geophysical surveying resulted in the intersection of gold mineralization in 17 out of 23 drill holes. In addition to gold assays from the Aamurusko and the Notches targets, the company also identified gold and […]
