(TSXV: OZ) (OTCQB: OZBKF) (the \"Company\" or \"Valkea\") is pleased to provide an update from its ongoing exploration drill program at its 100% owned Paana Project, northern Finland. Diamond drilling at Paana is currently focused on targeting disseminated, Ikkari-style gold mineralization at the Koivu Zone on the northern extent of the ~1.3 kilometer long, Aarnivalkea West target.HIGHLIGHTSDrilling at the Aarnivalkea West target is ongoing: Over 2,000 meters of drilling have been completed across five holes to date, with samples from the first two holes now submitted to the lab for analysis. Additional holes are being planned as part of a proposed Phase 2 program.Holes were drilled to test the extent of disseminated gold mineralization at the Koivu Zone: Step-out holes along strike and up-dip were designed to build on results from previous dill programs, including:55.48 meters of 1.63 g/t gold including 8.50 meters of 8.57 g/t gold, hole FAVD64736.45 meters of 1.50 g/t gold including 15.35 meters of 3.43 g/t gold and including 2.75 meters of 12.92 g/t gold, hole AW-24-0059Target generation activities set to commence: Base of till (BoT) drilling will begin in the coming weeks across key target areas at the Paana project. The BoT program is designed to strengthen the pipeline of high-priority drill targets.\"Our exploration program at the Aarnivalkea West target is progressing well,\" stated Chris Donaldson, CEO & Executive Chair. \"We have now completed five holes at the Koivu Zone and are encouraged by the mineralization observed which will allow us to start planning for a Phase 2 program. Initial assay results are expected in the coming weeks, while the upcoming BoT program will provide another exciting opportunity to define additional targets across the highly prospective Paana Project. Interest in Finland and specifically in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt has never been stronger. With gold price at all time highs, Valkea is exceptionally well positioned to advance exploration and unlock value across our district-scale land package in what is ranked the world's number one mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute5.\"2025...
