Svärdsjö – SkyTEM Targets Defined

District Metals reported that a SkyTEM survey covering its Svärdsjö property in central Bergslagen identified numerous conductive EM and magnetic high anomalies. In detail, the survey outlined five conductive targets of which numbers three, four, and five are known to correlate with polymetallic sulfide mineralization. Of special interest is target three, where a coincident conductive […]

Norden Crown -Mag Survey Completed

Norden Crown Metals announced the completion of a ground mag survey at its polymetallic, central Bergslagen, Fredrikssons Gruva prospect. The 450 line kilometer survey followed a 2021 drill campaign that intersected mineralization in three holes beneath historical workings. Due to the local association of sulfide mineralization and magnetite-rich sedimentary bands, the company aims to utilize […]

Conductors Defined At Gruvberget

District Metals reported on airborne geophysics conducted at the company’s Gruvberget property. The SkyTEM survey resulted in the definition of multiple conductive and magnetic anomalies, often, but not always associated with known mineral occurrences. Notably, a conductor in the vicinity of historic workings at Gruvberget North appears to be extending far beyond the mineralization outlined […]

Playfair Mining Expands Its Norwegian Portfolio

Playfair Mining Expands Its Norwegian Portfolio

Playfair Mining announced the acquisition of the Folldal project in central Norway. Located approx. 25km southwest of the southern end of the company’s RKV project, the 80.7 square km Folldal project includes four historic copper-zinc mines that have been mined from the mid-18th century until 1970 and produced several million tons of Cu-Zn ore. Playfair […]

VMS Exploration in Pyhäsalmi District

Avrupa Minerals provided an update on initial work at the Kolima project, one of its recently acquired VMS projects in central Finland. At Kolima, historic work outlined the occurrence of widespread disseminated sulfides together with locally occurring semi-massive to massive Zn-Pb-Ag sulfide mineralization, which is currently interpreted to represent distal parts of a volcanogenic, massive […]

Updates from IOCG Exploration in Greenland

AEX Gold provided an exploration update from its Sava project in southern Greenland. Located near an Archean craton margin and potentially correlating with other major metal provinces in Eastern Canada and northern Scandinavia, the company evaluates the greenfield project as prospective for IOCG and Porphyry style mineralization. The 2021 field program, consisting of remote sensing, […]

Wide Zone Of Ni-Cu Sulfides At Granmuren

Ragnar Metals reported assay results from a previously announced, visual magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide intersection from its Swedish Granmuren project. The assay from hole 21DDTS007 returned 146.3m @0.56% Ni, 0.49% Cu and 0.05 % Co, including 34m @ 0.9% Ni, 0.8% Cu and 0.08 % Co as well as several other higher-grade zones. The mineralization at […]

Drilling Commences At Tomtebo

District Metals announced the start of drilling at its polymetallic Tomtebo project in central Bergslagen. Three holes for a total of 1200m are planned at Tomtebo, before moving to the company’s newly acquired Gruvberget property that will be tested with an additional 10 holes for approx. 1800m. Drilling at Tomtebo aims to step out from […]

Assay Results from Burfjord, Norway

Norden Crown Metals reported assay results from two 2021 drilling campaigns at its Norwegian Burfjord copper-gold project. Significant results include 30.1m @ 0.28% Cu in hole 003, 17.2m @ 0.34% Cu in hole 004 and 12m @ 1.27% Cu in hole 011. At Burfjord, mineralization occurs in high-grade copper-gold veins, historically mined at cut-off grades […]

Gungnir Resources adds greenfield opportunity

Gungnir Resources announced the addition of the Hemberget property to its Swedish portfolio. The project, located approx. 6km north of the company’s Knaften project is characterized by an 11km long, strongly magnetic gabbroic-ultramafic intrusion. Following previous discoveries of gabbros/ultramafics, associated with magmatic sulfide mineralization at the nearby Knaften project, the company plans to explore the […]
