Endomines Finland Plc (Nasdaq: PAMPALO) has released the remaining assay results from its 2025 drilling programme at Kartitsa, located in the northern portion of the Karelian Gold Line. The company previously reported the first 10 drill holes in December and has now delivered the balance of results, which continue to confirm a large, continuous gold‑bearing zone extending approximately 1,500m. Endomines said the mineralised structure remains open to the north, south, and at depth, highlighting substantial scope for further exploration.
The company plans to undertake 50,000m of drilling across the Karelian Gold Line in 2026, with Kartitsa remaining a priority. A maiden mineral resource estimate for Kartitsa is scheduled for publication in March.

Kari Vyhtinen, CEO of Endomines, commented, “We have truly struck gold at Kartitsa. The results enable us to define the area’s first gold resource and elevate the significance of the Northern Gold Line to a new level. The latest drilling has confirmed a long and wide zone of high‑grade gold mineralisation, the boundaries of which are not yet known. We will publish the area’s first gold resource in March and, later this year, begin outlining a preliminary path toward production.”
Endomines has now completed roughly 8,000m of infill drilling at Kartitsa to support its upcoming resource estimate and to test the extensions of mineralised structures identified in previous campaigns. Earlier drilling programmes in 2024 also demonstrated strong gold potential along the target corridor.
