en.Wedoany.com Reported - Finnish exploration company Nordic Resources Limited (ASX: NNL) announced in mid-June 2026 that it has intersected the best results to date at its flagship Kopsa gold-copper deposit, located in the Central Ostrobothnia gold belt of Finland. Drill hole NRKOP26024 returned 70.8 meters at 2.90 g/t gold and 0.13% copper (3.04 g/t gold equivalent) from 207.4 meters depth, including an 8.4-meter high-grade zone at 229 meters with 20.13 g/t gold equivalent, within which a 1.2-meter interval assayed 105.50 g/t gold—the highest gold grade ever recorded at the Kopsa project.

Nordic Resources is an Australian Securities Exchange-listed Finnish gold-copper exploration company. Its flagship Kopsa deposit, located in the Central Ostrobothnia gold belt of Finland, currently hosts JORC-compliant mineral resources of 23.2 million tonnes at 1.09 g/t gold equivalent, totaling 814,800 ounces of gold equivalent. Notably, 90% of the mineralization lies within 150 meters of the surface. In addition to Kopsa, the company holds the Kiimala and Hirsikangas gold projects within the same gold belt.

The newly discovered high-grade zone is located in a previously undrilled area. Executive Director Robert Wrixon stated that the results confirm the Central Zone is not the only high-grade mineralization area at Kopsa, and validate the potential continuity between the North High-Grade Zone and the mineralization zone identified in late 2025. He noted that while Kopsa is already a large deposit, its exploration potential remains significant. A second drill hole, NRKOP26025, located 100 meters from the first, also returned meaningful mineralization at multiple depths, confirming the continuity of the North Zone along strike and at depth.

The company plans to complete a resource update for the Kopsa project by the end of the third quarter of 2026. Assay results from nine additional drill holes and metallurgical test results are expected to be released by the end of July. Nordic Resources' combined resources across three deposits (Kopsa, Angesneva, and Hirsikangas) in the Central Ostrobothnia gold belt total 34.3 million tonnes at 1.11 g/t gold equivalent, representing 1.23 million ounces of gold equivalent.

This high-grade drilling discovery further highlights the significant growth potential of the Kopsa deposit beyond its current resource boundaries, providing new expansion targets for the company's resource update in the second half of 2026.
