Beowulf Mining reported on recent exploration at its Parkijaur nr 7 permit, located several kilometers southwest of the Kallak iron deposit. The area hosts a copper prospect, where historic drilling defined a 50 to 100m wide and 250m long copper mineralized zone at the contact between granites and gneisses, intersecting e.g., 6.2m @ 1.53% Cu, including 3.6m @ 2.45% Cu and 2.6m @ 0.96% Cu in historic hole 74002.
In 2023, the historic data was reassessed, followed by geological mapping and boulder sampling as well as reprocessing of historical geophysical datasets. The sampling was successful in confirming historic high-grade mineralization, up to 14.6% Cu, while the reprocessing of the geophysical datasets resulted in the identification of 16 additional targets in the area.
The company is currently planning a field exploration program for the coming season to follow up on the 2023 results.
