Erik Wetterling – Value Proposition From A Recent Site Visit To First Nordic Metals Projects In Sweden
Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition and key takeaways from the recent site visit that he took to see the First Nordic Metals (TSX.V: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF) projects along the Gold Line Belt of Sweden.
We start off getting some of the nuances around using the collective wisdom of other institutional site visit attendees and various members of the First Nordic team on-site to get a better understanding of the various projects, key targets identified, exploration work underway, and what criteria other investors and analysts were weighting more heavily.
The conversation then turned to the underlying value in the 2.4 million ounces of gold defined so far in the Barsele Project, in a JV with Agnico Eagle. Erik outlines that some member of Agnico Eagle were present at the site visit and outlined 7 drill targets they’d be going after for this year’s exploration program.
We also discussed the amount of drilling focus that the Aida target has received at the Paubäcken Project, with many assays pending release from the lab, and some showing visible gold. When Erik was there the team finished up drill hole #38. The exploration team at First Nordic has also done a lot of targeting work for upcoming drilling at the Harpsund target, and more targeting underway at the Brokojan target.
The Storjuktan Project is also seeing drilling get underway at the Nippas target, which has had a lot of targeting work completed thus far. Additionally, there are several other regional targets at Storjuktan that different geologists and analysts were animated by, particularly Bråna to the south, due to mineralization that is outcropping at surface.
We wrap up discussing the financial health of the company to continue the ongoing 25,000 meter drill program across the Gold Line Belt.
