Dragon Mining (ASX: DRA) has been released from a trading halt this morning after releasing results from the Kuusamo gold project in Finland, with the company's shares rallying 10% higher in morning trade to last change hands at $1.33.

The latest highlights from a scissor hole at the Juomasuo project targeting the known gold bearing lodes returned; 8.95 metres at 11.42 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 60 metres, and 8.40 metres at 10.06g/t gold from 77 metres.

In addition two intervals located within the mineralised envelope have been shipped to the ALS Chemex Laboratory in Vancouver for specialised sample preparation and assaying.
