KEY TAKEAWAYS

North Gold´s assets are in central Finland which is a relatively under-explored area.
Around half of the 4 million euros raised during their recent IPO will be spent on core drilling.
North Gold has a broad and experienced team in place.
They are an advanced stage explorer with 725,000 ounces of gold equivalent resources.
There is also some copper.
Finland is a mining-friendly country, for the most part.
It takes a while to get a mine up and running in Finland. But from that point on things go smoothly.
NorthGold is commencing drilling in May 2022.
IP surveys at both sites will be completed during 2022.
In 2023, they are planning to drill another 5,000 meters.
