Kangasjärvi VMS Drilling Commences

Avrupa Minerals announced the start of drilling at the Kangasjärvi VMS project in central Finland. The up to 1000m diamond drilling program is designed to test two undrilled, high-priority conductors in the vicinity of the historic mine. Initial drilling will focus on the easier accessible southern anomaly, directly adjacent to the old working but cut […]

Stollberg Drilling Commences

District Metals announced the commencement of a 2,200m diamond drilling program the Stollberg project that is currently being advanced in collaboration with Boliden Mineral AB. The drilling program is designed to test the immediate surroundings of the historic Gränsgruvan mine, where polymetallic ore has historically been produced from 1943 to 1978. Drilling will be followed […]

Significant Depth Step-Outs At Viscaria

Viscaria AB reported exciting results from recent drilling at its flagship project in Kiruna. Testing the depth extensions of the different lenses, the program was successful in extending the Cu & Fe mineralization in the B and D zone to a depth of 1200m, several hundred meters below the current resource envelope. In addition, the […]

80 Mile Reports Dundas Hard Rock Exploration Target

80 Mile plc reported a maiden JORC exploration target for hard rock ilmenite at its Dundas project in northwestern Greenland. The hard rock resource is related to ilmenite-bearing sills underlying and adjacent to the titanium sand resources along the beaches and amounts to 170 to 540 million tons of ilmenite-bearing material with a TiO2 grade […]

Kuniko Discovers New Hydrothermal System

Kuniko reported results from a field mapping and sampling campaign at its Vågå project in Norway’s Trondlelag province. Notably, the work uncovered a new hydrothermal alteration system associated with outcropping copper mineralization grading up to 3.03% Cu at the Tesskrokan target. The company interprets the observed alterations as proximal parts of a hydrothermal system, possibly […]

Teako Acquires Historic Lokken Project

Teako Minerals announced it executed a definitive agreement with Capella Minerals to acquire 90% ownership in the Lokken copper-cobalt-zinc project in central Norway. The project complements Taeko’s existing landholdings in the area and provides the company with a number of more advanced, drill-ready targets in the vicinity of the historical Lokken mine (estimated historic production: […]

Prospech Starts Drilling At Korsnäs

Prospech Limited announced the commencement of drilling activities at its Korsnäs REE project in Finland. The 1000-1200m diamond drilling program is designed to validate historic drilling, test for continuity and extensions of existing mineralization, and provide new material for metallurgical test works (HQ core). The drilling represents the first campaign since the 1970s. Drill rig […]

Kuniko Identifies Multiple Conductors

Kuniko Identifies Multiple Conductors

Kuniko reported the identification of multiple conductors at its Ringerike project in Norway. Recent ground EM surveys were successful in identifying three conductors at the Langedalen trend. Two of the conductors occur in proximity to the historic Tysklandsgruve mine, where massive sulfide mineralization has been mined from the mineralized margins of a gabbronorite in the […]
