# Nordic’s Kopsa resource soars 86pc to 1.52Moz AuEq Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/nordic-s-kopsa-resource-soars-86pc-to-1-52moz-aueq--db9b2680-fa02-4734-a0d2-5697e47b48ac Original source: https://stockhead.com.au/resources/nordics-kopsa-resource-soars-86pc-to-1-52moz-aueq/ Publisher: stockhead Original announcement: 2026-10-12T01:39:55.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-12T03:02:55.307Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-12T03:02:55.307Z - Company: Nordic Resources - Ticker: NNL - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: central Finland - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Copper, Silver - Document categories: Resource update - Extracted: 2026-10-12 03:02:56 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Nordic Resources has announced a major upgrade to the Kopsa project resource, increasing the gold-equivalent inventory by 86% to 1.52Moz AuEq. The pit-constrained resource totals 44.03Mt at 0.83g/t gold, 0.16% copper, and 2.47g/t silver, with 86% of the AuEq ounces classified as Measured or Indicated. Reasoning: The resource upgrade is substantial, showing significant growth in both gold-equivalent ounces and geological confidence \(M&I ratio\). - Positive factor: Significant tonnage and grade growth \(86% increase in AuEq\) - Positive factor: High proportion of Measured and Indicated resources \(86% of AuEq\) - Positive factor: Inclusion of silver for the first time expands the resource base - Positive factor: Optimised pit shell captures 97% of in-situ resource - Negative factor: Strip ratio of 4:1 noted for the pit shell Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Tonnage Growth** Polarity: positive Definition: Significant tonnage increase \(≥15%\) vs prior estimate with grade maintained or improved. Why it applies: The gold-equivalent inventory increased by 86% to 1.52Moz AuEq. Evidence · text > lifting the deposit’s gold-equivalent inventory by 86% to 1.52Moz AuEq **Category Upgrade** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource confidence improved — Inferred upgraded to Indicated, or Indicated to Measured. De-risking signal. Why it applies: 86% of the AuEq ounces are now in the measured or indicated categories. Evidence · text > 86% of AuEq ounces in the measured or indicated categories **JORC Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The document explicitly states the resource is JORC-compliant. Evidence · text > NNL’s total JORC-compliant resource inventory **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The document does not explicitly state the specific cut-off grade used for the 44.03Mt resource. Evidence · text > The pit-constrained resource totals 44.03Mt at 0.83g/t gold ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
