Playfair Mining Updated Landholdings

Playfair Mining announced an application for the North Osterdalen project to the east of the company’s RKV and Folldal projects. The new project contains three former copper/zinc mines and numerous sulfide occurrences, with the last systematic regional exploration recorded in the early 1980s. Following negative results from recent exploration at RKV and the interpretation that […]

Drilling Commences At Kjoli

Capella Minerals announced the start of scout drilling at its Norwegian Kjoli Copper-Cobalt-Zinc project. The 1250m drill program aims at testing a coincident gravity and electromagnetic anomaly at Kjoli Deeps as well as potential down-dip extensions to former copper mining operations in the Kjoli Mine and Guldalsgruva areas. Drilling will be followed up by downhole […]

Mestersvig 2022 Exploration Results

Conico reported 2022 drill and rock chip sampling results from its Mestersvig project in eastern Greenland. The drilling program targeted a fault structure running for 9km between the Blyklippen and Sortebjerg prospects, returning multiple intersections with a style and grade of mineralization analogous to the historic Blyklippen mine. The best hole, SBDD003 returned 4.5m @ […]

New Assays From Granmuren

Ragnar Metals provided an update from recent drilling at its Tullsta project in central Sweden. Assays from drill hole 22DDTS010 returned 30m @ 0.78% Ni, 0.46% Cu, 0.08% Co in the upper zone from 167m and 42m @ 0.23% Ni, 0.18% Cu, including a zone of massive sulfides grading 2.9m @ 1.14% Ni, 0.38% Cu […]

New Assay Results From Greater Falun

Alicanto Minerals published new drill results from its Greater Falun project. First assays from the recently tested Skyttgruvan-Näverberg target confirmed the presence of multiple zones of mineralization, including 5.3m @ 6.8% ZnEq, 2.9m @ 14.7% ZnEq, 6.8m @ 9.7% ZnEq, and 3.9m @ 11.3% ZnEq (GRO22-19). A step-out hole (GRO2220) intersected 8m of stringer and […]

District Reports High-Grades From Svärdsjö

District Metals published historic drill results from its recently acquired Svärdsjö project in the historic Bergslagen Mining district. The historic Svärdsjö Zn-Pb-Cu deposit was mined from the mid-1700s until 1989 and produced 1.03Mt @ 112g/t Ag, 6% Zn, 2.7% Pb, 0.6% Cu and 0.4g/t Au. Historic exploration by Boliden resulted in depth extension of the […]

Lokken – Targeting Update

Lokken - Targeting palces

Capella Minerals provided an exploration update for its Lokken copper-cobalt-zinc project in central Norway. Recent fieldwork focused on a 5km long corridor extending eastward from the historic Lokken mine and included systematic ground magnetic surveys, ionic leach sampling, and the evaluation of historic data. The exploration efforts resulted in the identification of a 1.5km long, […]

Mo-Project Permitting Update

Greenland Resources provided a permitting update for its Malmbjerg Molybdenum project in central east Greenland. Following the completion of a definitive feasibility study in April 2022, the company got the Terms of Reference for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Social Impact Assessment (SIA) approved by the Government of Greenland, submitted a navigational safety investigation […]

More IOCG Indications From Sava

Amaroq Minerals published results from its 2022 exploration program at the Sava license in Southern Greenland. Scout drilling at Target West intersected anomalous copper in a potassic and sodic-altered monzonite, followed by significant magnetite alteration and molybdenum mineralization. Surface mapping further identified vein-hosted molybdenite with grades up to 7.86% Mo. At Target South, drilling identified […]

Ionic Leach Results From Gruvberget

District Metals reported positive results from recent soil sampling at the Gruvberget Property in western Bergslagen. Following a successful, earlier orientation survey, a total of 442 soil samples covering four target areas were collected. Ionic leach results indicate multi-element anomalies north of the Gruvberget North Zone, as well as south of the Gruvberget South Zone. […]
