-->Swedish minerals explorer Riddarhyttan said yesterday new drilling results
at its gold deposit in Finland showed reserves were deeper and could be more
extensive than previously expected.

"New drill holes in the Suurikuusikko area, Finland, have further intersected
high gold grades over considerable widths, increasing the depth extent of the
known mineralised zones and further highlighting the sizeable resource potential of the gold deposit," Riddarhyttan said in a statement.

Suurikuusikko has 11,5-million tons of resources grading 5,4 g of gold per ton, and the Swedish firm said it could be Europe's biggest gold deposit as there was likely to be much more gold than the two-million ounces discovered so far.
