Nordic Nickel (ASX:NNL) announced an expansion of its exploration efforts in Finland, with a new 3,000-metre diamond drilling program commencing immediately.
The campaign focuses on the company's Kopsa and Kiimala Trend gold projects and is strategically designed to gather data ahead of scheduled mineral resource estimate updates planned for later in the year.
At the Kiimala Trend, drilling will prioritise infill and extension work at the Angesneva deposit, which currently boasts a near-surface indicated resource of 147,000 ounces at 1.19 grams per tonne gold.
Furthermore, the program includes exploratory drilling at the Vesipera prospect and other untested targets within the Kiimala area.
The drilling is scheduled to wrap up in May, timed to align with the completion of ongoing metallurgical testing at Kopsa.
