GT Resources Adds Greenstone Hosted Gold and Nickel to Finland Portfolio

Executive Summary

• GT Resources announced the acquisition (by staking) of the 12,300‑ha Kuhmo Gold Project in central Finland.
• The project hosts high‑grade gold‑in‑till anomalies (up to 45,800 ppb Au) and historic drill intercepts of up to 11.4 g/t Au over 0.9 m.
• A multi‑phase exploration program is planned for 2026, targeting both gold and nickel potential, leveraging proximity to GT’s flagship Läntinen Koillismaa (LK) Project.

Key Details

• Acquisition Method: Staking of two Exploration Reservations covering 12,300 ha; no overlap with Natura 2000 protected areas.
• Geological Setting: Part of the Kuhmo greenstone belt, structurally analogous to “Temiskaming‑type” sediments of the Abitibi Subprovince, a classic orogenic gold province.
• Gold Till Anomalies: Samples up to 45,800 ppb Au across >22,000 regional till samples; widespread unexplained anomalies deemed drill‑ready.
• Historic Drill Intercepts (Gold):
• Hole SMS/LEL_1 – 0.9 m @ 11.4 g/t Au
• Hole R344 – 1.0 m @ 9.0 g/t Au
• Hole MEN036 – 4.7 m @ 2.3 g/t Au
• Historic Drill Intercepts (Nickel):
• Hole R306 – 7.0 m @ 1.26 % Ni
• Hole R319 – 8.0 m @ 1.16 % Ni
• Historical Nickel Resources:
• Arola deposit – 1.5 M t @ 0.46 % Ni (historic resource)
• Sika‑Aho deposit – 175 k t @ 0.66 % Ni (historic resource)
• Strategic Advantages:
• Proximity to LK Project enables shared technical team, infrastructure, and logistics, reducing exploration costs.
• Year‑round road access; near rail line and the port of Oulu for potential future bulk handling.
• Exploration Plan 2026:
• Winter: Re‑logging & sampling of historic GTK core to assay previously untested gold zones.
• Spring/Summer: Detailed magnetic survey, infill till sampling, and detailed mapping.
• Fall: Target compilation and drill‑ready target preparation.
• Management Quote (Neil Pettigrew, VP Exploration): Emphasized the similarity of Kuhmo to Abitibi gold systems and the opportunity to accelerate discovery using extensive historic till data.

Notable Quotes

“Kuhmo has many similarities to the prolific greenstone‑hosted gold in the Abitibi Subprovince of Canada… This is a rare opportunity to accelerate the lead time to discovery in an overlooked greenstone belt.” – Neil Pettigrew, Vice President of Exploration and Qualified Person.
