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, […]

Aida Drilling Commences

First Nordic Metals announced the start of diamond drilling at the Aida target, where previous intersections returned up to 22.5m @ 2.4g/t Au. The company plans to test over 3km of a promising structural corridor, coincident with geochemical anomalies, via initially 24 diamond drill holes for more than 5000m. Upon success of this drilling program, […]

First Nordic Commences Additional BOT Drilling

First Nordic Metals announced the start of base of till drilling at the Harpsund and Brokojan targets at its Paubäcken project in northern Sweden. The drilling program is designed to test the two multi-element geochemical till anomalies that have been identified during previous exploration campaigns and will include up to 180 holes.   Harpsund and […]

Penikat Permitting Update

Kingrose Mining provided an update on the permitting process for its Penikat project in Finland. The permitting process for the project is more complex due to Natura 2000 sites in the permit area. The company is currently applying to get the necessary permits for two sub-areas, namely Area 1 and Area 2-5. For Area 1, […]

Assay Results From Korvilansuo

Endomines reported high-grade assay results from its Korvilansuo gold project. The drilling program consisted of 8 holes for a total length of 1466m and aimed to test for the extension of known mineralization at depth and along strike to the north. Both objectives were successful with for example drill hole KVS-119 intersecting 5.95m @ 4.16g/t […]

First Nordic Discovers Additional Till Anomalies

First Nordic Metals announced the discovery of multiple As-Cu-Zn till anomalies at its Storjuktan project in northern Sweden. These newly identified anomalies, discovered through a glacial till sampling program with over 17,000 samples collected to date, add to the growing list of exploration targets, which includes the previously identified 5 km-long Nippas gold and pathfinder […]

Amaroq Discovers Epithermal System In Southern Greenland

Amaroq Minerals reported initial exploration results from its newly awarded Johan Dahl Land License package in southern Greenland. Initial exploration at the 666.51 km2 large license area returned gold grades up to 12.3g/t and copper grades up to 5.1% in quartz-sulfide veins at the Ukaleq target. The mineralization appears to be related to an intermediate-to-high […]

Latitude 66 Provides An Update On KSB Scoping Study

Latitude 66 provided an update on a scoping study currently underway at the KSB project. The study is being prepared by Finnish and Australian consulting groups and includes, among other aspects, metallurgy, mine design, as well as Opex and Capex estimates. The focus of the study will be on deposits with existing JORC-compliant mineral resources […]

Firefox Gold Provides Larger Mustajärvi Exploration Update

Firefox Gold provided an exploration update on several new targets at its Mustajärvi project in northern Finland. Trenching at the Triangle target followed up high-grade grab samples of up to 4.82g/t Au and returned for example 1.83g/t Au over 1m or 1.43g/t Au over one meter. Moreover, a ground magnetic survey has been completed over […]

Valkea Completes Initial Drilling Program

Valkea Resources announced the completion of its maiden drilling program at the Aarnivalkea gold project in northern Finland. The drilling program consisted of six holes for more than 2000m, targeting the northern and southern extends of the Aarnivalkea West target. Assays are currently pending. Landholdings in the Central Lappland Greenstone belts with Valkea’s Aarnivalkea project […]
