Mawson Resources Limited (TSX:MAW) has distinguished itself as a leading Nordic Arctic exploration company with a focus on the flagship Rompas and Rajapalot gold projects in Finland. New high grade and thick core sample results in May 2015 at the Palokas project include 19.6m @ 7.5 g/t gold from 18.1 metres in drill hole PRAJ0107 including 5.0m @ 24.1 g/t gold from 26.7 metres with visible gold present. Gold mineralization remains open in all directions. This disseminated mineralization is coincident with a VTEM geophysical conductor that extends for more than 500 metres.

One hole hit multiple gold-cobalt intersections from between the surface and 280 metres depth
Drilling results from the Raja prospect continued to extend mineralization beyond the current resource boundaries with further continuous and thick high-grade gold-cobalt showings
Highlight assays reported Thursday included 32 metres at 3.9 g/t (gram per ton) gold equivalent, with 1.4 g/t gold and 1,556 ppm (parts per million) cobalt from 294.3m
Highlights from the reported assays include one hole that showed 15.2 metres at 8.5 g/t (grams per ton) gold equivalent
The company announced new drill results from five holes, including one drill section that intersected 19.7 metres at 8.9 grams per ton gold equivalent and 908 parts per million cobalt
Drilling highlighted a shallow gold-cobalt mineralization at the Rumajärvi prospect on the project, including one intercept of 7.4 metres at 4.4 grams per ton gold equivalent and 597 parts per million cobalt from around 86 metres
A milestone was reached in December last year, when the company announced a maiden inferred gold-cobalt estimate
