VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mawson Finland Limited (“Mawson” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MFL) is pleased to announce new drill results from 7 drillholes on the South Palokas prospect 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:

Drillholes PAL0335, PAL0340, PAL0344 and PAL0348 all penetrated significant intercepts beyond the southern margin of South Palokas, extending gold-cobalt mineralisation here by between 45 and 90 metres to the south.

  • Hole PAL0335 drilled a 21.75m wide mineralised intercept from a new lens of mineralisation located in the footwall below the South Palokas ore-body returning 5.25 g/t gold and 515 ppm cobalt (21.75 m @ 5.25 g/t Au & 515 ppm Co from 295.05 m, including: 3.2 m @ 21.61 g/t Au and 373 ppm Co from 311.3 m)

  • Hole PAL0335 went on to drill 3 further intervals of mineralisation immediately below the footwall contact of the new lens, returning:

    • 2 m @ 1.86 g/t Au and 164 ppm Co from 322.4 m

    • 4 m @ 2.99 g/t Au and 94 ppm Co from 335 m

    • 6.6 m @ 2.37 g/t Au and 279 ppm Co from 350.25 m

  • Holes PAL0340 and PAL0344 drilled further intercepts demonstrating respective step-outs along-strike of 50 m and 55 m to the south of the presently defined limit of mineralisation at South Palokas, including:

    • PAL0340: 0.7 m @ 7.47 g/t Au from 91.8 m (cobalt to be announced)

    • PAL0344: 4 m @ 2.78 g/t Au from 201 m (cobalt to be announced)

  • Holes PAL0348 and PAL0350 returned one metre intervals of mineralisation (see Table 2 in Schedule “A” hereto), while holes PAL0339 and PAL0341 recorded no significant intercepts

Ms. Noora Ahola, Mawson Finland CEO, states: “We are very excited to report some significant drill-intersections from our first round of results from the 2024 winter drilling campaign. The discovery of a new lens of high-grade mineralisation situated in the footwall to the South Palokas prospect is a significant step forward for our resource-expansion ambitions. Similarly, adding significant intercepts along-strike from the southern margin of South Palokas is highly encouraging, being a further indication that the current mineral resources can likely be expanded. We look forward to presenting further drill results from this year’s drilling in the coming weeks.”

Detailed Results

The 7 drillholes reported here (see Table 1 in Schedule “A” hereto) are all from the South Palokas area of gold-cobalt mineralisation at Rajapalot (drillholes PAL0335, PAL0339, PAL0340, PAL341, PAL0344, PAL0348 and PAL0350: 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 2,097 metres of drilling from the total winter programme of 12,070 metres in 38 drillholes. 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 PAL0335 and PAL0350, 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.
