Just in time for PDAC, Valkea Resources released assay results from its flagship project in Northern Finland. Any good? I’ll have a closer look.

Valkea Resources just released assay results from its maiden drilling campaign at the Aarnivalkea prospect in Northern Finland. The company drilled six diamond holes for a total of 1997m testing two zones at the Aarnivalkea West gold project.

The best results were received from the northern, Koivu zone, where drilling up and down dip of a good historic intercept returned additional high-grade intervals, surrounded by broader zones of lower grade gold mineralization, returning for example 36.45 meters @1.50 g/t Au, including 15.35 meters @ 3.43 g/t Au, including 2.75 meters @ 12.92 g/t in drill hole AW-24-005.

Going forward, the company is currently incorporating additional structural and geological information from this drilling campaign into a new structural model with the idea to better target the highest grade shoots in a follow up drilling program.
