GT Resources stakes Kuhmo gold project in Finland

2026-02-17 17:36 ET - News Release

Mr. Derrick Weyrauch reports

GT RESOURCES ADDS GREENSTONE HOSTED GOLD AND NICKEL TO FINLAND PORTFOLIO

GT Resources Inc. has acquired, through staking, of the Kuhmo gold project in central Finland. The project covers 12,300 hectares of the highly prospective Kuhmo greenstone belt, located 130 kilometres southeast of the company's flagship Lantinen Koillismaa (LK) project.

Highlights:

  • Near-term discovery opportunity -- widespread gold-in-till anomalies largely unexplained and drill ready;
  • High-grade till anomalies -- gold-in-till samples up to 45,800 parts per billion;
  • Proof of concept -- limited historic drilling includes 11.4 grams per tonne gold over 0.9 metre (hole SMS/LEL_1) and 2.3 g/t gold over 4.7 m (hole MEN036);
  • Geological analogues -- hallmarks of orogenic gold such as belt-parallel faults and late clastic sediments structurally analogous to Temiskaming-type sediments of the world-class Abitibi subprovince;
  • Polymetallic potential -- the Kuhmo project hosts a known nickel endowment, including the Arola historical mineral resource of 1.5 million tonnes grading 0.46 per cent nickel;
  • Strategic land position: 12,300 hectares of the Kuhmo greenstone belt through two exploration reservations; no overlap with Natura 2000-protected areas;
  • Operational synergies -- proximity to the company's flagship LK project allows cost-efficiencies through an established technical team, local infrastructure and exploration logistics; this regional cluster strategy maximizes the value of exploration dollars spent;
  • Infrastructure advantage -- excellent year-round access through paved/gravel roads and proximity to rail and the port city of Oulu;
  • Finland -- a premier mining-friendly jurisdiction;
  • Competitive advantage -- historic state-run exploration focused on nickel to feed Finland's industrial complex; this legacy not only defined many gold-in-till anomalies but left them largely untested.

Neil Pettigrew, vice-president of exploration, stated: "Khumo has many similarities to the prolific greenstone-hosted gold in the Abitibi subprovince of Canada. Furthermore, the belt has been covered with in excess of 22,000 high-quality regional till samples, a result of state-run mineral exploration focused on nickel, providing GT with numerous untested gold targets. This is a rare opportunity to accelerate the lead time to discovery in an overlooked greenstone belt. Our strategy is akin to what Kenorland Minerals Ltd. has accomplished in Canada."

Geology of the Kuhmo belt

The Archean-aged Kuhmo greenstone belt is a 220-kilometre-long complex in east-central Finland. While historically noted for its nickel, GT Resources has identified the belt as a premier target for orogenic and intrusion-related gold.

The belt features a structural setting remarkably similar to Canada's Abitibi subprovince. The Ronkapera formation sandstones and conglomerates were deposited in basins along major north-south faults 60 million to 90 million years after the main stage of volcanism. These Temiskaming-type sediments act as a major vector for gold exploration, marking the deep-seated breaks that served as primary conduits for gold mineralization.

Gold mineralization

The Kuhmo project exhibits the hallmarks of a major orogenic gold system, including belt-scale faults and splays providing fluid conduits and dilation zones, arsenopyrite and quartz-tourmaline alteration, and a diverse mix of prospective lithologies (komatiites, tholeiitic basalts, felsic volcanics, clastic sediments, iron formation and felsic intrusive stocks) (Table 1).

Geochemical vectoring: why arsenic is good

In Archean orogenic gold systems, arsenic often proves to be a critical pathfinder element. Gold and arsenic are frequently transported by the same hydrothermal fluids. When these fluids precipitate to form mineral deposits, gold is often hosted alongside arsenic-bearing minerals such as arsenopyrite.

Because arsenic often creates a much larger geochemical halo than gold itself, identifying arsenic anomalies in regional till sampling allows vectoring toward the core of a mineralized system. At Kuhmo, the strong correlation between arsenic and major structural faults provides a clear road map for drill testing.

Potential also exists at Kuhmo for intrusion-related gold with arsenic-bismuth-tungsten-tellurium-in-till anomalies along the margin of a late felsic intrusive stock.

Nickel mineralization: historic mineral resources

Significantly, the belt hosts significant komatiite-associated nickel (Tables 1 and 2), with mineralization remaining open at depth at two known deposits and potential for other discoveries.

Next steps

GT Resources plans to initiate an exploration program to unlock the belt's gold potential:

  • Winter 2026 -- relogging and sampling of historical GTK core (targeting previously unassayed gold zones);
  • Spring/summer 2026 -- detailed magnetic survey, infill till sampling and mapping;
  • Fall 2026 -- target compilation and drilling preparation.

Disclaimer: historical resource estimate -- Sika-Aho and Arola deposits

Readers are cautioned that the company has not attempted to verify historic mineral resource estimates and therefore readers should not place any reliance on any historical estimate. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify a historical estimate as a current mineral resource; additionally, a qualified person has not yet determined what work needs to be done to upgrade or verify a historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

The company is not treating any historical estimates as current mineral resources.

The Arola nickel deposit hosts a historic resource estimate of 1.5 million tonnes grading 0.46 per cent nickel.

The Sika-Aho nickel deposit hosts a historic resource of 175,000 tonnes grading 0.66 per cent nickel using a 0.35-per-cent-nickel cut-off.
