The Goodyear Tire(GT) Newsfile·2025-06-12 10:30Core Viewpoint - GT Resources Inc. is advancing its North Rock Project in Ontario, Canada, and the Läntinen Koillismaa (LK) Project in Finland, both of which focus on copper, palladium, and platinum resources, highlighting their potential to supply critical minerals to the European Union [1][3]. North Rock Project - The North Rock Project is located in Northwest Ontario and features excellent infrastructure, including a paved highway and railroad [4]. - The mineralization consists of copper-rich magmatic sulphide along a 13-kilometer basal contact of mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks, with two main styles of mineralization: gabbro hosted and massive copper-palladium-rich footwall veins [4]. - The 2024 exploration program identified geophysical conductors adjacent to historic high-grade footwall vein intercepts, with notable results including up to 14.6 g/t Palladium, 0.5 g/t Platinum, 0.3 g/t Gold, and 2.3% Copper over 0.6 meters [5]. - Indicated resources include 1.1 million ounces of total precious metals (TMP) at 0.89 g/t, 111 million pounds of Copper at 0.13%, and 92 million pounds of Nickel at 0.11%, contained in 38.2 million tonnes [5]. - Inferred resources are estimated at 1.1 million ounces of TMP at 0.68 g/t, 173 million pounds of Copper at 0.16%, and 152 million pounds of Nickel at 0.14%, contained in 49.7 million tonnes [5]. LK Project - The LK Project in Finland is the company's most advanced project, featuring a substantial palladium-platinum-copper rich open pit resource, positioning it as a critical mineral source for the European Union [3][12]. - The project has a significant NI 43-101 compliant open pit resource and is strategically located to supply critical minerals, with Europe heavily reliant on imports [12]. - The Haukiaho Trend, a 17-kilometer long area, presents near-term expansion potential, with historic drilling indicating significant platinum and palladium grades [13]. - The mineral resource estimate includes indicated resources of 1.50 million tonnes at 0.61 g/t Palladium, 0.22 g/t Platinum, and 0.07 g/t Gold, and inferred resources of 1.26 million tonnes at 0.43 g/t Palladium, 0.17 g/t Platinum, and 0.09 g/t Gold [16].
