Valkea Resources Corp. has announced that it will begin exploration at its 100% owned, Paana project in Central Lapland, Finland. The Phase 1 exploration programme will target high-grade gold mineralisation at the Aarnivalkea West discovery.

Highlights

Valkea’s inaugural Phase 1 exploration programme set to commence: a ~2000 m drill programme designed to target high-grade gold mineralisation at the Aarnivalkea West discovery is scheduled to begin this month and systematic core re-logging efforts already underway to help build a new structural model.

“Since completing the Finnish asset transaction, we have been eager to advance exploration at the Paana Project, building on the promising Arnivalkea West discovery,” commented Chris Donaldson, CEO of Valkea. “Our initial drill programme at Aarnivalkea West aims to define the extent and structural controls of the high-grade gold mineralisation. We’ve already initiated a comprehensive core re-logging effort to develop a refined structural model of the system, which will be continually updated as drilling progresses. The updated model will help inform future targeting efforts at Aarnivalkea West and other high-priority targets across the highly prospective Paana project.”
