VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (FRANKFURT: NBS)(OSLO: NAUR) is
pleased to announce that it has received 2 key permits for its 100%
owned Hannukainen iron-copper-gold project in Finland. The permits
allow Northland to drain the Laurinoja open pit and to collect a
bulk sample of mineralization within the existing pit area for
pilot-scale metallurgical test work.
The Finnish-Swedish Trans-Border River Commission recently
granted a pumping permit which will allow Northland to drain the
Laurinoja open pit. This work will start as soon as a contractor
can be mobilized to the site and dewatering is expected to take 3
to 4 months to complete.
Once dewatering is finished, a bulk sample will be taken for
metallurgical testing. Northland has received the permission from
the Northern Finland Environmental Permit Authority to carry out
test excavations to collect a bulk sample. The material excavated
will provide key information for the metallurgical process design
work for Hannukainen. In addition, when the pit is drained, the
Company's geologists will be able to map the pit area in
detail.
Buck Morrow, the President of Northland, said, "The receipt of
these permits is a major step in the advancement of the Hannukainen
Project. It also demonstrates the excellent level of cooperation
between Northland and the permitting agencies of Finland and Sweden
involved in reviewing our applications and granting the permits,
and has established a solid foundation for future cooperation. We
will carry out this phase of work in an environmentally and
socially responsible manner."
Background
Northland has defined a major, NI43-101 compliant
iron-copper-gold resource at Hannukainen project in Finland, which
was reported on August 23rd, 2007. Total Measured plus Indicated
resources are 84.6 million tonnes with an average grade of 34.6%
Fe, 0.20% Cu, and 0.093 g/t Au using a cut-off of 15% Fe. An
additional 81.6 million tonnes @ 35.7% Fe + 0.13% Cu + 0.036 g/t Au
have been defined in the inferred category.
The Hannukainen area itself represents only one of a number of
known iron-oxide-copper-gold type magnetite occurrences in the
Kolari District, Finland that are currently being evaluated by
Northland. On the Swedish side, at the Stora Sahavaara prospect
which is roughly 25km from the Laurinoja open pit, the Company has
defined a significant NI43-101 compliant iron resource with Cu
credits (see Northland's press release dated May 18, 2006).
Northland's broader objective is to define combined resources in
excess of 500 million tonnes of magnetite mineralization within the
region.
Qualified Person
The resource modeling for Hannukainen was completed in a joint
effort between Micon International of Norwich, United Kingdom and
Geovista of Lulea, Sweden. Mr. D.K. Mukhopadhyay, MAusIMM, of Micon
served as the independent Qualified Person for the resource
modeling.
Background
