Nordic Resources (ASX:NNL) has pinpointed ‘standout’ orogenic gold prospects within its Kiimala Trend Gold Project in central Finland. This discovery follows a detailed review of the exploration and drilling database. The Kiimala project is part of a larger acquisition from Northgold (STO:NG), which includes the Kopsa and Hirsikangas gold projects. The transaction, valued at $9.75 million, is expected to close in early June 2025, with drilling at Kopsa to commence soon after.
While the Kopsa gold-copper project is currently the most advanced, Nordic Resources highlights the significant exploration upside within the Kiimala Trend, situated in Nivala, Haapavesi, and Oulainen municipalities. The project encompasses 27km2 and includes eight active exploration licenses. Of the 12 identified gold prospects, eight have been drilled, all showing near-surface gold intersections. Historical, non-compliant resources are present at the Angesneva and Vesipera prospects, with ongoing validation work following database verification. Notable results from Angesneva include 79.8m at 1.85 g/t gold and 0.18% copper, while Vesipera shows 10.4m at 4.93 g/t gold. The company remains focused on Kopsa but acknowledges Kiimala’s potential.
