Core Insights - Nordique Resources Inc. reports initial assay results from its Base-of-Till (BOT) drilling program at the Isoneva Gold Project in Finland, successfully identifying gold-bearing dispersion trains and new mineralized zones, validating the exploration model [1][4] Program Overview - The Phase 1 BOT drilling at Korpisalo has processed 78 base-of-till and 123 bedrock samples, with more samples pending analysis [5] - Over 225 holes have been drilled at Korpisalo, with infill drilling based on initial results to refine gold anomalies [6] - The next drilling target is Tiaskuru, with diamond drilling planned for Q1 2026 [6] Geological Interpretation - Recent geological mapping and drone magnetic data have refined the geological model, confirming the presence of mafic volcanic units and tonalite [9][10] - New geological logging indicates more prevalent tonalite and quartz diorite dykes, introducing additional traps for gold mineralization [10][11] Geochemical Results - Zone A has identified a gold-copper-antimony anomaly with rock chip assays returning up to 0.08 g/t Au, indicating potential proximity to mineralized structures [15][16] - Zone B features a broad gold-copper-arsenic anomaly with bedrock assays showing elevated copper and arsenic, suggesting mineralized structures close to the surface [17][18] - Zone C has defined a multi-element anomaly characterized by Au, As, Bi, and Te, indicating overlapping mineralization styles [19][21] Geophysical Interpretation - Historic geophysical data has effectively detected near-surface chargeability zones, guiding bedrock targeting [22] - Chargeability highs correlate with copper-arsenic rich bedrock samples, indicating potential mineralization zones [23] Next Steps - The ongoing BOT program continues to validate the exploration approach, with further sample submissions and assay results expected [26][31] - Integration of geophysical and geochemical datasets into a 3D model is underway to refine diamond drill targets for Q1 2026 [31]
