TSX/TSX-V European Gold Projects Top 10% of all TSX/TSX-V, European-based companies gold-containing drill hits ranked by AuEq. x metres Opaxe took all relevant reports, and further filtered them so that each unique project was only stated once (with the top intercept reported for that project). 31 unique projects were identified along with the top intercept reported for that unique project and this list is provided in the 'Drill hits - top per project' sheet. The top Mawson Resources report from the Rompas-Rajapalot project is provided in red for easy identification. The above graph shows the top intercept for each project ranked by AuEq. x meters for each of the 31 unique projects in the opaxe database. 8 Mawson Resources had the highest AuEq. x meters intercept with a 6m @ 616.7g/t Au intercept from 2012 (giving a AuEq. x m result of 3700.2)
