Additional Soil Anomaly Discovered Along Gold Line

First Nordic Metals reported the identification of a new multi-element pathfinder anomaly at its Paubäcken project in northern Sweden. Discovered through till sampling combined with XRF screening, the Brokojan As-Cu-Zn-Mo anomaly extends over 2.3km by 1.0km. The target lies almost immediately to the NW of the previously defined Harpsund target. The company also reported on […]

Hirsikangas Exploration Update

Structure and geochemistry indicate that Hanni SE is highly prospective for gold

Northgold published exploration results from the 2023 field season at its Hirsikangas project in central Finland. Soil sampling at the Hanni SE prospect resulted in the identification of a promising soil anomaly along a possible shear or fault structure, in a geological setting similar to the Hirsikangas deposit located in the same belt, a few […]

Kuittila Mineralization Extended Down Dip

Endomines reported exploration results from a deep drilling program at its Kuittila prospect at the southern gold line. The program was successful in extending the zones of mineralization down dip, with gold mineralization intersected in all drill holes. Highlighted intercepts include 19.4m @ 2.09g/t Au, including 2.3m @ 7.89g/t Au in drill hole KT-045 or […]
