The 1,997 meter, six hole drill program targeted both high-grade (Kittila-style) and bulk-tonnage (Ikkari-style), disseminated gold mineralization at the Aarnivalkea West discovery. Highlights: Koivu Zone Holes AW-24-005 and AW-24-004 tested the up-dip and down-dip extent of disseminated gold mineralization discovered in historical hole FAVD-64 (55.48 meters of 1.63 g/t gold including 8.50 meters of 8.57 g/t gold7)Drill hole AW-24-005 intersected 36.45 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 from 150.15 meters down holeAW-24-004 intersected 37.95 meters of 0.61 g/t gold including 12.65 meters of 1.25 g/t gold and including 1.50 meters of 4.99 g/t gold from 220.10 meters down holeResults demonstrate strong continuity of Ikkari-style, bulk-tonnage gold mineralization over a 100-meter dip extent where it remains open down-dip. Further step-out drilling down-dip and along strike is warranted\"Results from our inaugural drill program at the Aarnivalkea West target have verified the significant potential of the target area,\" stated Chris Donaldson, CEO of Valkea Resources. \"Every hole drilled hit gold mineralization. Based on new data from these holes, as well as from a concurrent core relogging program, we now have the technical data required to create a structural model and target the extents of both the high-grade (Kittila-style) mineralization and the newly established disseminated gold (Ikkari-style) mineralization.\"The Central Lapland Greenstone Belt is a prospective district with numerous significant gold occurrences, yet it has been historically under explored. Valkea is strategically positioned with a dominant land position next to Kittila, Europe's largest gold producer (Agnico Eagle Mines) and proximal to the development stage Ikkari project of Rupert Resources. The region has become globally significant for gold exploratio...
