Nordique Resources Identifies Several Multi-Element Anomalies from Base-of-Till Drilling at the Isoneva Gold Project, Central Finland

NORD · Price

Executive Summary

  • Nordique Resources released initial assay results from its BOT program at the Isoneva Gold Project, confirming multiple gold‑bearing dispersion trains and new near‑source mineralized zones.
  • Over 225 BOT holes have been completed; 78 base‑of‑till and 123 bedrock samples processed to date, revealing several multi‑element anomalies with gold assays up to ~0.08 g/t Au (bedrock) and high pathfinder element signatures.
  • Diamond drilling is planned for Q1 2026 to test priority targets identified at Korpisalo and Uunikangas, with the BOT rig now moving to the Tiaskuru target.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: 225+ BOT holes completed across the Isoneva Project; current focus shifting from Korpisalo to Tiaskuru.
  • Sample Count: 78 base‑of‑till samples and 123 bedrock rock‑chip samples processed; additional batches in laboratory.
  • Zone A – Gold–Copper–Antimony Anomaly (South Korpisalo):
  • Bedrock assays up to 0.08 g/t Au, defining a ~200 m wide anomaly with multiple consecutive samples > 0.005 g/t Au.
  • Historical Gemdale drilling intersected 17.9 m @ 4.3 g/t Au (incl. 2.1 m @ 24.8 g/t Au) in adjacent shear zones (May 2025 release).
  • Zone B – Gold–Copper–Arsenic Anomaly (Central Korpisalo):
  • 200 m wide Au‑Cu‑As anomaly; bedrock assays up to 0.1 % Cu and 430 ppm As, with weak gold but strong pathfinder signatures.

  • Correlates with a >600 m multi‑element till train and elevated IP chargeability, indicating shallow sulfide mineralization.
  • Zone C – Gold–Arsenic–Bismuth–Tellurium ± Copper Anomaly (North Korpisalo):
  • 300 m strike of bedrock samples enriched in Au, As, Bi, Te ± Cu along MVU‑VSU contact zones; associated with magnetic lows and chargeability highs.

  • Geophysical Correlation: IP chargeability highs align with copper‑arsenic rich bedrock containing visible sulfides; low‑magnetic corridors flank these anomalies, guiding target selection.
  • Future Drilling Plan: Diamond drilling slated for Q1 2026 to test priority targets at Korpisalo and Uunikangas based on integrated geochemical, geophysical, and structural models.
  • Operational Next Steps:
  • Mobilize BOT rig to Tiaskuru for next phase of till sampling.
  • Continue assay submissions; results expected in coming weeks.
  • Finalize 3‑D integration of datasets to refine drill targets.
  • Qualified Person: Dr. Toby Strauss (Director, Gemdale Gold Inc.) signed off on technical information per NI 43‑101 standards.

Notable Quotes

“We’re very encouraged by the early results from Isoneva,” said Sharyn Alexander, CEO of Nordique Resources. “The combination of strong gold and pathfinder anomalies… confirms that our exploration model is effective.”
