Mawson Finland Limited Further Expands the Known Mineralized Zones at Rajapalot: Palokas Step-Out Drills 7 Metres @ 9.1 g/t gold & 706 ppm Cobalt

17.09.2024 | 12:30 Uhr | Accesswire

VANCOUVER, September 17, 2024 - Mawson Finland Ltd. ("Mawson" or the "Company") (TSXV:MFL) is pleased to announce new drill results from 8 drillholes at the Palokas zone of mineralization which were drilled as part of the Company's 38-hole 2024 winter drilling campaign on the Company's wholly-owned Rajapalot gold-cobalt project in Finland (see Table 1 and Figure 1 in Schedule "A" hereto).

Highlights:

  • PAL0346 intercepted 7 m @ 9.1 g/t gold and 706 ppm cobalt from 88.75 m demonstrating that thicker and higher-grade mineralization exists in the southern margin of the Palokas gold-cobalt system

  • PAL0354 intercepted 12 m @ 1.7 g/t gold from 416 m(cobalt to be announced) demonstrating the Palokas system remains open at depth; opens new vector for further exploration

  • PAL0351 and PAL0362 intercepted mineralized extensions to the south of the previous known extents of the Palokas system including:

    • PAL0351: 6 m @ 0.43 g/t gold from 254 m (cobalt to be announced)

    • PAL0351: 1.25 m @ 2.42 g/t gold from 261.64 m (cobalt to be announced)

    • PAL0351: 1 m @ 0.31 g/t gold from 287.9 m (cobalt to be announced)

    • PAL0362: 1 m @ 4.71 g/t gold from 56.55 m (cobalt to be announced)

  • PAL0343 and PAL0345 drilled into the northern margin of the Palokas system returning thin intervals of lower-grade mineralization, including:

    • PAL0343: 1 m @ 1.29 g/t Au and 260 ppm cobalt

    • PAL0345: 0.95 @ 0.64 g/t Au (cobalt to be announced)

  • PAL0342 and PAL0357 similarly drilled into the northern margins of the Palokas system but failed to return significant intercepts

Ms. Noora Ahola, Mawson Finland CEO, states:

"We are very excited to report the latest results from our resource step-out drilling at the Palokas zone from the Rajapalot project. The drill results demonstrate that the mineralization at Palokas is wide open both to the south-west and down dip. We look to be well on our way to achieving our objective to increase the Rajapalot resource. Further drill results will be reported in the coming weeks".

Detailed Results

The 8 drillholes reported here (table 1) are from the Palokas zone of mineralization at Rajapalot (drill holes PAL0342, PAL0343, PAL0345, PAL0346, PAL0351, PAL0354, PAL0357 & PAL0362 see Figure 1 and Figure 2 in Schedule "A" hereto for collar and intercept locations, and Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 in Schedule "A" hereto for collar and available assay data) represent 2,310 metres of drilling from the winter programme of a finalized total of 11,376 metres in 38 drillholes. To date, a total of 15 holes for a total of 4,406 m have now been reported. Gold concentrations are reported here for intercepts that contained over 0.3 g/t Au over a minimum sample interval of 1 metre (lower-cut), while corresponding cobalt concentrations are reported from those same intervals where available (cobalt concentrations are currently only available from holes PAL0343 and PAL0346, and the remainder of such results will be reported in due course as the same become available). Composite assay values recording gold concentrations above the lower-cut limits are presented below in Table 2 in Schedule "A" hereto, and all raw sample intervals are presented in Table 3 in Schedule "A" hereto. Due to the abandonment of hole PAL0359 for technical reasons at 47.2 metres of a planned 750 meters depth, the total and finalised tally of metres drilled at Rajapalot for the 2024 drilling season is 11,376 metres from the 38 drillholes.

Drillholes PAL0346, PAL0351, PAL0354 and PAL0362 are all located along the depth extent of the southern margin of the Palokas zone of gold-cobalt mineralization, with intercept depths ranging from around 40 m to 300 m below surface. The most significant intercept reported here from PAL0346 intercepted a strongly mineralized interval of 7 m @ 9.1 g/t gold and 706 ppm cobalt located approximately 70 m below surface, and approximately 40 m south of its nearest drillhole (see figure 2). Drillhole PAL0354 intercepted 12 m @ 1.7 g/t gold (cobalt to be announced) located nearly 300 m below surface, in an area that had only previously reported lower-grade results (see figure 2); these results now open-up a significant new search-space for further exploration on the Palokas zone, and increase the strike-extension length of Palokas from around 130 m, to over 200 m at its deepest known point (see figure 2). The remainder of the drillholes reported here were drilled along the northern margin of the Palokas zone and intercepted some minor mineralization (holes PAL0343 and PAL0345) or no significant mineralisation (PAL0342 and PAL0357) suggesting that much of the immediate northern margin of the Palokas zone between surface to around 350 m below surface does not host further significant gold-cobalt mineralisation (see figure 2).

Technical Background, Data Verification and Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Three diamond drill rigs from MK Core Drilling Oy, Comadev Oy and Arctic Drilling Company Oy, all with water recirculation and drill cuttings collection systems, were used in this drill program. Core diameter is NQ2 (50.7 mm). Core recoveries are excellent and average close to 100% in fresh rock. After photographing and logging in Mawson's Rovaniemi facilities, core intervals of between 0.5 to 2 metres are taken for sampling, then half-sawn by independent contractors the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) in Rovaniemi, Palsatech Oy in Kemi and Geopool Oy in Sodankylä. The remaining half core is retained for verification and reference purposes. Analytical samples are transported by commercial transport from site to the independent contractor CRS Minlab Oy ("CRS") facility in Kempele, Finland. Samples are prepared and analyzed for gold using the PAL1000 technique which involves grinding the sample in steel pots with abrasive media in the presence of cyanide, followed by measuring the gold in solution with flame AAS equipment. Samples for multi-element analysis (including cobalt) are pulped at CRS, then transported by air to MSALABS in Vancouver, Canada and analyzed using four acid digest ICP-MS methods. All the foregoing laboratories are independent of the Company. The quality assurance and quality control program of Mawson consists of the systematic insertion of certified standards of known gold content, duplicate samples by quartering the core, and blanks placed within sample runs in interpreted mineralized rock. In addition, CRS inserts blanks and standards into the analytical process. In addition to the sample preparation and security measures described above, data verification procedures are well integrated into the Company's quality assurance and quality control program. Routine ongoing checking of all data is undertaken prior to being uploaded to the database. This will be followed by independent data verification audits at exploration milestones throughout the Rajapalot project's development. Dr. Fromhold (see "Qualified Person" below) has also reviewed the qualifications and analytical procedures of the above-mentioned laboratories, photographs of drill cores, and the PEA in connection with verifying the exploration information presented herein.

All maps have been created within the KKJ3/Finland Uniform Coordinate System (EPSG:2393). Tables 1-3 in Schedule "A" hereto provide collar and assay data. Due to the typically low angles of drill intercepts, the true thickness of the mineralized intervals are interpreted to be approximately 80-90% of the drilled thickness. Table 3 gives detailed individual assay data of all intervals reported in this press release. Intersections are reported with a lower cut of 0.3 g/t Au over 1 metre intervals, with composite data (Table 2 in Schedule "A" hereto) containing no more than 2 consecutive 1 m intervals of waste-rock (i.e., 1 m intervals with <0.3 g/t Au). No upper-cut was applied.

At Rajapalot, all examples of gold-cobalt mineralisation are consistently located within highly-sheared and foliated wall-rocks adjacent to strongly hydrothermally altered, northwest to north dipping shear-zones. Mineralisation is typically encountered as disseminated to semi-massive sulfide lenses (predominantly pyrrhotite and lesser pyrite ± cobaltite), hosted within strongly deformed and altered, mafic volcanic and volcaniclasitic stratigraphy of the upper portions of the Paleoproterozoic-aged Kivalo Group of the Peräpohja Greenstone Belt. Prospects with high-grade gold and cobalt mineralisation at Rajapalot occur across a 3 km (east-west) by 2 km (north-south) area within the larger Rajapalot project area measuring 4 km by 4 km with multiple mineralized boulders, base-of-till (BOT). Gold-Cobalt mineralization at Rajapalot has been drilled to approximately 470 metres below surface at both South Palokas and Raja prospects, and mineralisation remains open at depth across the entire project.
