Dalaroo Metals Secures Option For Greenland Project

Dalaroo Metals secured an option to acquire the Blue Lagoon zirconium, niobium and rare earth project in southern Greenland. The project has been sampled as part of historic, regional stream sediment surveys and shows a geochemical anomaly footprint similar to the Kvanefjeld project. Notably, historic surveying indicates no elevated uranium content, which is positive due […]

New Assay Results From Korsnäs

Prospech Limited continues to deliver high-grade REE assays from historic core from its Korsnäs REE project in Finland. Recent assay results returned, for example, 11.9m @ 11,010ppm TREO, including 5.1m @ 17,790ppm TREO in drill hole SO-021, validating and updating the company’s resource model. Simultaneously to further re-assaying of historic core the company is also […]

Kupukan Reports Initial Drill Results from Graphite Project

Kupukan Grafiitti reported initial assay results from recent drilling at its Finnish graphite project. Drill holes KUP-002 and KUP-003 returned a wide intersection of graphite-rich gneisses, returning e.g. 112.4m @ 4.5% Cg, including 17.70m @ 5.2%Cg and 22.55m @ 9.2% Cg in drill hole two.   Kupukka drill hole map on EM anomaly map (Source: […]

Basin Energy Reports High Grade Uranium Assays

Basin Energy reported the identification of high-grade uranium mineralization at several prospects in Northern Sweden. The highest grades, appear to be linked to vein and shear-hosted uranium mineralization at the Björkberg target, with two samples exceeding the detection limit of 2.95% U3O8. Further vein-related mineralization with grades up to 0.67% U3O8 and the occurrence of […]

More High-Grade Assays From Korsnäs

Prospech Limited reported further assay results from resampling of historic core from its Korsnäs REE project in Finland. The results returned the highest grade-thickness section seen at the project to date with drill hole KR-139 returning 21.5m @ 25,827ppm TREO (NdPrO 4,605ppm), including 10.8m @ 43,758ppm TREO (NdPrO 7,659ppm). The company notes that the newly […]

Basin Energy Tenement & Exploration Update

Basin Energy advised it was granted a new exploration permit in northern Sweden. The new Trollberget permit covers 116km2 and signifyingly increases the company’s landholdings near its existing Virka, Björkberget, and Rävberget projects. During November and December, the company conducted an initial reconnaissance program at the three projects resulting in nineteen samples from Björkberget, three […]

Eclipse Metals Provides Gronnedal Update

Eclipse Metals provided an update on its Gronnedal REE project in Greenland. The company is currently assaying selected samples of historic drill cores that have previously been analyzed with XRF technology. The historic holes have been drilled in the vicinity of the company’s shallow JORC resource at the carbonatite complex and could be used to […]

Basin Energy Officially Enters Scandinavia

Basin Energy announced the completion of its Scandinavian exploration portfolio acquisition. Following the finalization of the deal, the company controls multiple projects, prospective for uranium mineralization in Sweden and Finland. The projects have been acquired via a share purchase agreement of 100% of the issued capital of Normecto AS.   Overview map highlighting Basin Energy’s […]

Grit Metals Reports Additional High-Grade Lithium Results From Central Finland

Grit Metals reported additional high-grade lithium samples from two of its Finnish lithium projects. At the tenements adjacent to the Keliber operation, the company reported the identification of three new areas of spodumene mineralized boulders at the Jylhä South project, returning up to 2.46% Li2O. Around 100km to the south, in the Seinajoki Lithium-Tin belt, […]

Prospech Limited Commences Exploration At 2nd Finnish Project

Prospech Limited announced the commencement of exploration activities at its Jokikangans project in central Finland. Sampling of historic drill core has returned locally high-grade hafnium, niobium, and REE values but has been limited to short sampling intervals for scientific reasons. The company therefore plans a detailed assessment of the 81 preserved historic holes starting with […]
