-
69% of the Kopsa resource is in the Measured and Indicated categories.
-
Over 90% of the resource ounces lie between 0-150m from surface[1] .
Nordic Resources Limited (ASX: NNL ; Nordic , or the Company ) is pleased to confirm Mr Henrik Grind as its Country Manager in Finland.
This is a critical appointment for NNL. The Company’s three gold projects and its Pulju nickel-copper exploration project are located in Finland and the Company is rapidly advancing its gold project portfolio, with a drill program recently commenced at the Kopsa gold-copper project.

1 23.2Mt @ 0.85g/t Au and 0.17% Cu (1.09g/t AuEq) for 631,100oz Au and 38,360t Cu (814,800oz AuEq) in Total Resources:
• 7.44Mt @ 0.95g/t Au and 0.16% Cu (1.18g/t AuEq) for 226,800oz Au and 11,780t Cu (283,200oz AuEq) in Measured category.
• 8.96Mt @ 0.73g/t Au and 0.16% Cu (0.97g/t AuEq) for 211,100oz Au and 14,060t Cu (278,400oz AuEq) in Indicated category.
• 6.75Mt @ 0.89g/t Au and 0.19% Cu (1.17g/t AuEq) for 193,200oz Au and 12,520t Cu (253,200oz AuEq) in Inferred category. AuEq figures for Kopsa calculated using US$1,500/oz gold price and US$7,166/t copper price. Recovery factor of 80% is applied for both Au and Cu based on 2013 Kopsa PEA metallurgical results and inputs. Resultant formula applied is AuEq (g/t) = Au (g/t) + 1.49*Cu (%). In the Company’s opinion, the metals included in the equivalent calculation (Au,Cu) have reasonable potential to be both recovered and sold.
