Burfjord Drilling Commences

Norden Crown Metals announced it commenced a minimum 3000m diamond drill program at its Burfjord copper-gold project, advanced together with Boliden Mineral AB. The drill program will target a variety of geological, geochemical, and geophysical targets to evaluate copper-gold grades and test the continuity of mineralization within an area of extensive historic workings. The company […]

Capella Minerals – New Claims Staked

Capella Minerals - New Claims Staked

Capella Minerals announced the staking of new claims in Norway’s past-producing Vaddas-Birtavarre copper-cobalt district. The district contains several Caledonian-age sulfide deposits at different stratigraphic levels and has seen limited historical exploration and small-scale mining but no modern exploration since the 70s.   Newly granted and applied exploration claims (Source: www.capellaminerals.com.)

Alicanto – Assay Results From Sala

Alicanto Minerals published more assay results from ongoing exploration work at the Sala Silver-Lead-Zinc-(Copper-Gold) project in central Bergslagen. The new assay data returned e.g. 2.8m @12.7% Zn, 22g/t Ag in drill hole SAL22-28, or 3.8m @ 653g/t Ag, 0.3% Zn, and 2.6% Pb at the North-Western Extension of Sala. According to the company, the Prince […]

Drilling At Rostvangen Commences

Playfair Mining announced it started drilling at its Norwegian RKV project after receiving an off-road driving permit. Drilling will start at the Rostvangen SW MMI target, one of five targets to be tested this summer. The MMI target is located 800m to the east of the former Rostvangen mine and sits on the same stratigraphic […]

Kolima – VMS Targeting Update

Avrupa Minerals provided sampling results and a progress update from its Kolima VMS project in central Finland. Relogging and sampling of four historic drill holes confirmed the presence of distal VMS style, disseminated zinc mineralization. Interestingly, holes collared in the western limb of the Kärnä anticline show stronger mineralization than the holes collared into the […]

District Metals – Wide Zone Of Visual Sulfides Intersected

District Metals reported the intersection of strong visual sulfide mineralization at its polymetallic Tomtebo project. The 61.5m intercept (210-271.5m) in hole TOM22-038 consists of disseminated, stringer, and lesser semi-massive to massive sulfides and is interpreted to represent footwall style mineralization, overlain by an approx. 2.7m wide zone of massive sulfides (271.5-274.2m). The 2.7m wide intersection […]

Nordic Nickel Lists on ASX

Nordic Nickel reported a successful listing on the ASX, raising 12 million AUD in an oversubscribed IPO. Exploring for magmatic nickel sulfides in northern Finland, the company holds two assets of which one has seen significant historic drilling and holds known nickel mineralization. In the near future, the company plans to publish an initial JORC […]

Follow Up Drilling To Commence At Tullsta

Ragnar Metals advised that a 2800m drill program at its Tullsta Nickel project is set to commence in June 2022. The program will test multiple targets identified from a recently completed downhole IP survey. In detail, the first three holes will test for extensions of a previous intersection in hole 21DDTS007 (146.3m @ 0.56% Ni, […]

Capella Minerals – Norway Exploration Update

Capella Minerals provided an update on its Norwegian Copper Cobalt Projects. At the company’s Kjoli project, drill targeting has been completed with permits for 4000m/25 drill holes in place. Four targets (Kjoli Deeps, the former Kjoli mine, Guldaslgruva and Gronskard) have been outlined. Drilling activities were expected to commence in April but are currently postponed […]

Large Anomalies Defined At Tullsta

Ragnar Metals published results from downhole IP modeling at its Granmuren Deep discovery in central Sweden. Designed to detect low resistivity – high conductance geological bodies and anomalous chargeability zones caused by sulfide mineralization, the survey was successful in defining a large, mineralized gabbroic body that remains open at depth and appears to have additional, […]
