FinEx Metals Announces Exploration Program for its 100%-owned Kero Project in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, Finland

FinEx advances its Kero Gold Project with a 2,000m drill program despite ongoing dilution and going concern risks.

Executive Summary
  • FinEx Metals announced its 2026 summer exploration program at the 100%-owned Kero gold project in Finland.
  • The program includes approximately 2,000 meters of diamond drilling and 600 Top-of-Bedrock/Bottom-of-Till samples.
  • Drilling aims to test four target areas (A, B, C, D) using revised orientations to correct sub-optimal historical drill geometry.
  • Historical data shows a 1.2 km zone of intermittent gold mineralization, with best intercepts of 9.05 m @ 1.95 g/t Au and channel samples up to 25.6 g/t Au.
  • An IR agreement with Magna Capital Oy was updated, reducing monthly fees from €2,500 to €500, with additional options granted to the principal.
  • The Qualified Person, Dr. Petri Peltonen, noted that historical data has not been independently verified and does not conform to NI 43-101 for resource estimation.
Material Impact
  • The announcement is a direct execution of the $1.67 million private placement completed in March 2026, which was explicitly earmarked for exploration at Ruoppa and Kero.
  • This is an expected, incremental step in the exploration lifecycle rather than a discovery or material milestone.
  • The market likely priced in the drilling program following the license grant in February and the financing in March.
  • No new geological data or resource estimates are provided, limiting immediate upside potential.
  • The reduction in IR costs is a minor operational efficiency but does not alter the fundamental capital-intensive nature of the business.
