Nordique Resources Announces Promising Initial Assay Results from Isoneva Gold Project
November 6, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Nordique Resources Inc. (CSE: NORD; OTCQB: NORDF; FSE: V0U) has announced initial assay results from its ongoing Base-of-Till (BOT) drilling program at the Isoneva Gold Project in central Finland. The project is under option from Gemdale Gold Inc.
The BOT drilling program is delineating gold-bearing dispersion trains and identifying new, near-source mineralized zones, validating the company’s targeting model.
BOT drilling and bedrock sampling continue to define gold and pathfinder element anomalies that correlate with induced polarization (IP) chargeability highs and magnetic lows, highlighting areas of potential gold-bearing sulfide mineralization at shallow depth.
Highlights of the program include:
- BOT drilling complete at Korpisalo: Over 225 holes have been completed, including infill drilling based on initial assay results to refine gold anomalies. The rig will now mobilize to the next high-priority target, Tiaskuru.
- Strong multi-element signatures: Elevated gold and pathfinder elements in till and bedrock define several broad anomalies that exceed regional background levels.
- Multiple source zones emerging: Pathfinder elements (Cu, As, Sb, Bi, Te) define multi-element trends that suggest proximity to mineralized shear and vein systems feeding historic gold-bearing boulder trains.
- Diamond drilling planned for Q1 2026: Initial testing of priority targets at Korpisalo and Uunikangas is scheduled for the upcoming winter diamond drill program.
Nordique Resources CEO Sharyn Alexander stated the early results from Isoneva are encouraging. The combination of gold and pathfinder anomalies, above background values, coinciding with chargeability highs and quartz–sulfide mineralization confirms that the company’s exploration model is effective. Alexander added that each round of results is narrowing the search toward the source of multiple gold-bearing boulder trains, and geochemical and geophysical vectors are converging on clear drill targets.
Initial assays from Phase 1 BOT drilling at Korpisalo have returned encouraging results. Seventy-eight base-of-till and 123 bedrock samples have been processed, with additional batches currently in the lab. Because bedrock exposure in the project area is minimal due to glacial cover, BOT drilling remains essential for subsurface mapping and target definition.
Recent mapping and drone magnetic data have refined the geological model at Isoneva, validating the company’s exploration approach. Geological logging indicates that tonalite and quartz diorite dykes are more prevalent within the MVU than previously recognized, introducing additional structural and lithological traps for gold mineralization. Gold-bearing boulders and veining identified within both the MVU and volcano-sedimentary units (VSU) demonstrate that mineralization extends beyond the weakly mineralised tonalite host rocks historically tested by drilling >1 km to the SE at Uunikangas.
BOT drilling continues to return encouraging results from the Korpisalo grid, defining multiple gold and pathfinder element anomalies and refining the company’s understanding of mineralization controls within the mafic volcanic sequence and adjacent intrusive contacts.
Along the southwestern margin of the Korpisalo grid near Uunikangas, a new multi-element anomaly has been identified within the MVU, marking a previously untested discovery zone. Rock chip assays from bedrock samples returned up to 0.08 g/t Au, defining a 200-meter-wide bedrock anomaly with several consecutive samples exceeding 0.005 g/t Au. This new anomaly occurs within an area where historical drilling by Gemdale in 2021 intersected 17.9 meters of 4.3 g/t Au, including 2.1 meters of 24.8 g/t Au within west-dipping shear zones.
Integration of BOT geochemistry, reinterpreted geophysics, and structural mapping into a 3D model is underway to support final drill targeting. Reprocessing of IP and magnetic data is ongoing.
Next Steps:
- Mobilize BOT rig to Tiaskuru to initiate the next phase of drilling.
- Continue sample submission, with assay results expected in the coming weeks.
- Finalize 3D integration of geophysical and geochemical datasets to refine diamond drill targets for Q1 2026.
- Maintain ongoing engagement with the Municipality of Reisjärvi and local stakeholders.
