- Step-out drilling confirms continuity of gold-copper mineralisation
- Three more step-out holes extend mineralised continuity along strike and at depth
- All holes stepped out at least 90m beyond the 2025 SE holes
- Company remains well-funded with over $10M at bank
Nordic Resources (ASX:NNL) has obtained positive results from a further three holes at the Kopsa gold-copper project located in the Middle Ostrobothnia Gold Belt (MOBG) of central Finland.

The three new holes were drilled to target potential strike and depth extensions to the gold-copper mineralisation lying in the southeastern part of the host tonalite intrusive.
They tested further beyond the strong intersections reported during the 2025 drill program and good continuity has been successfully confirmed at the furthest southeastern extent of the Kopsa intrusion.
All three holes successfully intersected wide zones of significant gold-copper mineralisation continuing beyond the southeastern zone intersections reported in 2025, meaning well outside the current mineral resource estimate (MRE) boundary.
The results have also confirmed significant depth continuity for the mineralisation within the host intrusion.
Significant intersections included 10m at 1.02 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 0.17% copper and 3.0 g/t silver from 288m, and 58m at 0.61 g/t gold, 0.18% copper and 3.0 g/t silver from 353m.
“Important new assays, this time confirming continuity of the wide zones of mineralisation to the southeast of Kopsa that we observed in the 2025 drill program, The depth continuity is also impressive. These results should boost both the size of, and the level of confidence in, the upcoming resource update for Kopsa,” executive director, Robert Wrixon, said,
“These three southeastern holes are the second batch of results from the spring 2026 drill program at Kopsa. A further six holes were drilled at Kopsa to test further strike and depth extensions in the northern and southwestern zones, before the drilling concluded at the end of May.
“The company looks forward to reporting these assay results as they are received and compiling them, together with the 2025 drill results, into an updated resource update for Kopsa due later this year. Drilling will re-commence in late July, with two rigs booked to the end of 2026.
Kopsa currently hosts a near-surface JORC (2012) compliant resource) of 23.2 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.09 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEq) for 814,800 ounces AuEq.
The overall resource inventory across all the three MOGB gold projects currently stands at 34.3 Mt at 1.11 g/t AuEq for 1.23 Mt AuEq, consisting 1.04 million ounces of contained gold and 38,000 tonnes of contained copper across all resource categories.
