Northgold in brief
Northgold, founded in 2020, is a gold exploration and development company that holds exploration rights for a number of areas within the under-invested Middle Ostrobothnia Gold Belt (“MOGB”) of central Finland, including the Kopsa project and the nearby Kiimala Trend project, both of which contain mineral resources.

Northgold’s purpose is to move forward through the discovery and advancement of feasible gold mining projects. The Company’s strategy is to bring capital and knowledge into mineral exploration projects that:

  • Have low risk due to significant prior investment and discovery.
  • Demonstrate potential for high-value mineralization on a district scale.
  • Will generate significant value uplift through further successful exploration and enhanced technical studies.

Northgold focuses on exploration and development of gold deposits that create leverage for the growth of gold as a long-term investment instrument. The Company's business model is to create value by expanding mineral resources through exploration and increasing their probability of extraction through technical studies. Once sufficient mineral resources have been delineated and a positive feasibility study has been completed, the Company ultimately plans to develop its deposits into economically profitable mines.

Motive for the Offering
The motive for the Offering is to conduct exploration activities with the aim of expanding mineral resources from the current informal 725,000 ounces (oz) gold equivalent (AuEq) to over 1,000,000 oz AuEq of NI43-101 compliant resources within 18 months from the first day of trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, as well as provide exposure to potential new discoveries at the Company’s earlier-stage prospects, based on encouraging geophysical and geochemical results. The listing on Nasdaq First North Growth Market also provides the Company a liquid asset which may be used as a means of payment for acquisitions along the Middle Ostrobothnia Gold Belt. The net proceeds are intended to be used for:

  • Exploration drilling programs at Kopsa and Kiimala Trend projects (approximately 50 percent).
  • External geological consultants (approximately 15 percent).
  • Early-stage exploration activities such as geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling, review of historical data and core, and geological modelling and drill target generation (approximately 10 percent).
  • Rent to landowners and other administrative fees related to tenements (approximately 10 percent).
  • Other working capital (approximately 15 percent).
