Ivigtut Historic Drill Hole Assessment

Eclipse Metals reported results from investigating an old diamond hole drilled into the center of the historic Ivigtut mine in Greenland. Logging and XRF analysis of the upper part of the hole resulted in a better understanding of the remaining mineralization under the present Ivigtut open pit floor. Notably, two zones of zinc-rich mineralization have […]

Airijoki Geochemical Results

Kendrick Resources provided an update on a geochemical characterization study for the Arijoki project where a total of 651 soil samples have been collected over the last 2 years. Analysis and characterization of the samples resulted in the identification of several multi-element anomalies outside the main vanadium trend. Follow-up work will commence as soon as […]

Dannemora Offtake Agreement

Grängesberg Exploration Holding signed an offtake and royalty agreement with Anglo American for high-grade magnetite concentrate from Dannemora. The exclusive agreement covers the entire planned production throughout the life of mine, estimated to currently 11 years. As a condition for the offtake agreement, Anglo American also signed a 10 Mio USD royalty agreement that will […]

Kjoli Drilling Update

Capella Minerals provided an update from initial drilling at its Kjoli Copper project in Norway. To date, six holes totaling 1080m have been completed. Remobilized semi-massive chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization has locally been intersected, especially around the Guldalsgruva prospect. Drill hole KJ-001, planned to test the Kjoli Deeps target deviated significantly. A follow-up DHEM survey confirmed the […]

Falun – Multiple Near Mine Targets Identified

Alicanto Minerals announced it will proceed with the Falun acquisition after due diligence resulted in the identification of numerous drill targets near the historic mine. Initial compilation of historic data resulted in the identification of significant gold and base metal mineralization outside the historic mining voids. The identified targets in the near mine environment include […]

First Visual Mineralization From Pulju

Nordic Nickel reported first visual results from its recently commenced drill program at its Pulju Nickel project in northern Finland. An initial hole has been completed (HOT001: 1109.5m) with two more currently ongoing (HOT002: 470m, HOT003: 863m). Notably, HOT003 intersected an approx 30m wide zone of semi-massive and net-textured sulfides from 140m to 170m. BHEM […]

Kangerluarsuk Survey Results

Kangerluarsuk Survey Results

Bluejay Mining reported positive results from a 2022 airborne geophysical gravity and magnetic survey at its Kangerluarsuk Zinc-Lead-Silver project in western Greenland. Integration of the new results into existing electromagnetic, magnetic, geochemical, and geological datasets resulted in a refining and upgrading of existing drill targets that will allow the company to test multiple combined geophysical […]

Puolalaki – Ground and DHEM Completed

Avira Resources announced the completion of initial ground-based exploration work at its newly acquired Puolalaki Ni-Cu-Co project in northern Sweden. The work included a fixed loop ground EM survey as well as downhole surveying of three historic drill holes. Data is currently being processed and expected by the end of February. A UAV magnetic survey […]

Kallak Scoping Study Results

Beowulf Mining published results from a scoping study for its Kallak North Iron Ore project in northern Sweden. The scoping study was based on a “base case” focusing solely on the Kallak North deposit, while additional resources and exploration targets exist within the scope of the project. The base case study assumes 67 % of […]

Greenland Skarn Exploration

Amaroq Minerals published results from its 2022 exploration program at the Kobberminebugt license. The work was successful in confirming the copper mineralization at the historic Josva copper mine to be skarn related with a channel sample testing the remaining mineralization returning 2.5m @ 4.2% Cu, including 0.5m @ 11.6% Cu. In 2023, the company plans […]
