District Publishes Viken Resource Estimate

District Metals announced an NI 43-101 compliant inferred and indicated mineral resource estimate for its Viken Energy Metals deposit in central Sweden. Based on historic drilling data, the new estimate returned over 1.5 billion pounds of contained uranium, making it officially the second-largest uranium deposit in the world. Although possible to further grow the inferred […]

Assay Results From Gronnedal Prospect

Eclipse Metals reported assay results from resampling of historic core from its Gronnedal REE project in western Greenland. The company has recently been allowed to sample the historic drill core that has previously only been assessed by non-destructive XRF technologies. The selective lab results now appear to confirm REE mineralization at various depths of the […]

Visible Gold Intersected At Raja Deeps

Mawson Finland announced the completion of a 33-hole, 11,397m winter drilling program at its Rajapalot gold-cobalt project in northern Finland. Most notably, testing some recently defined downhole conductors at the Raja Deeps prospect resulted in the intersection of multiple zones of disseminated to semi-massive sulfides. While gold assays are still pending, visible gold was observed […]

Lat 66 announced the start of EU research project in Kuusamo

Latitude 66 announced that the Geological Survey of Finland will commence a geophysical work program in the Kuusamo Schist Belt area, including at Lat 66’s KSB project. The work is part of the EU-funded Uncover project and aims to assist mineral exploration in the Kuusamo Schist Belt by enabling screening to a depth of up […]

Tomtebo Drilling Update

District Metals provided an update from an ongoing drilling program at its polymetallic Tomtebo project in central Sweden. To date, three drill holes for a total of 1712.5m have been drilled near the old mine, testing the Steffenburgs zone and the inferred ore strata at the contact between different types of geochemically distinct rhyolites. Disseminated […]

90% Increase Of Korsnäs Resource

Prospech Limited published an updated mineral resource estimate for its Korsnäs REE project in central Finland. Incorporating additional data from the company’s 2024 drilling campaign and assay data from historic core, the updated resource represents a 90% increase in tonnage compared to the previous estimate. At a 0.5% TREO cut-off grade, the new estimate returned […]
