Channel Sampling Confirms New REE Prospect

European Green Transition reported results from recent channel and grab sampling at its Olserum REE project in southern Sweden. Channel sampling at the Djupedal prospect was successful in identifying a new, 100m wide, high-priority target with the best channels returning 3m @ 1.577 % TREO (Channel 007) and 1m @ 2.273% TREO (channel 008, offset continuation of 007).

Grab sampling was further successful in identifying additional mineralization at Djupedal, confirming the >800m long mineralized trend that remains open in the west. Additionally, the company successfully located another magnetite-biotite altered shear zone some 900m south of the Djupedal trend. A sample from the location returned 1.77% TREO with 0.393% NdPrDy. Notably, this discovery lies on trend with the Bersummen showing that has historically returned high-grade REE values.

The company’s maiden drill program at Djupedal is scheduled to commence in H2 2024.
