Kuniko Enters Lithium Exploration In Sweden
Kuniko announced assay results from reconnaissance lithium exploration in Sweden. Rock chip sampling at the Väne Ryr project returned significant lithium grades up to 2.64% and 4.59% Li2O. The company notes that chemical analysis and visual mineral identification indicate lepidolite to be the main lithium mineral. Additional mineralogical XRD analysis to confirm the nature of […]
District Metals Consolidates Viken Project
District Metals announced it entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire four mineral licenses (Norra Leden, Norr Viken, Lill Viken & Storviken) covering parts of the Viken energy metals deposit in central Sweden. Subject to closing, the company will control 100% of the Viken deposit which ranks amongst the largest uranium and vanadium deposits […]
Higher Grade Nickel Assays From Pulju
Nordic Nickel announced the intersection of the widest higher-grade nickel zone at Pulju to date. Drill hole HOT016 returned 91.7m @ 0.22% Ni from 1.6m, 164.15m @ 0.2% Ni from 216m, and 26.4m @ 0.59% Ni from 412.6m, including 6.1m @ 0.74% Ni, 4m @ 0.77% Ni and 3.35m @ 0.91% Ni. The company has […]
Black Schist Drill Program Completed
Metals One reported the completion of a 1548m diamond drilling program at its Black Schist Ni-Cu-Co-Zn project in Finland. Exploring for Talivivaara style mineralization, the company drilled 8 holes at the R1 Hook target, in the vicinity of an existing resource. According to the company, initial visual and XRF assessments indicate potential for mineralized black […]
Olserum North Exploration Update
Ragnar Metals provided an update for its Olserum North Rare Earth project. Following the previous identification of high-grade heavy REE mineralization at Olserum North, the company reviewed airborne magnetic data to explore for additional prospects in the area. The review resulted in the definition of magnetic anomalies over 17km, leading the company to secure the […]
Gronnedal REE Exploration Target
Eclipse Metals defined a rare earth exploration target with over 5km strike length within the Gronnedal carbonatite complex. Interpolating mineralization to a depth of 50m indicates a conceptual exploration target between 175 and 245Mt with grades of 0.25%-0.5% TREE, including 32%-39% magnet REE (Nd, Pr, Dy, and Tb). The company notes that a drilling program […]
Ertelien – Independent Review
Kuniko published results from an independent review of the Ertelien Nickel project. Conducted by SLR consultants, the assessment affirms the potential of high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization and acknowledges the potential for the broader Ringerike nickel region. Following this, the company is proceeding towards a maiden resource estimate at Erteilen, aiming to be completed in December 2023. […]
Puolalaki Phase 2 Drilling To Commence
Avira Resources announced a phase two diamond drilling program at the Puolalaki Ni-Cu-Co-Au project to commence in early December. As part of the planned, 6-hole, 805m program, the company aims to infill around recent massive sulfide intercepts (e.g. 36m @ 0.63% Ni, 0.57% Cu, 952ppm Co in PUO23002), test an off hole conductor from recent […]
Korsnäs REE Discovery
Prospech Limited provided a comprehensive update on its Korsnäs REE project. Assessment of a large amount of data associated with the historic Korsnäs lead mine resulted in the recognition of the projects, previously overlooked, REE potential. Resampling of historic drill core resulted in locally thick and high-grade intersections of REE mineralization, e.g., 27.6m @ 19,744ppm […]
New Lithium Discoveries At Bergby
United Lithium announced the discovery of new spodumene-bearing pegmatites at its Bergby project in central Sweden. As part of an ongoing, expanded, 6000m drill program, the company is currently drill testing newly discovered pegmatites D and E, with assay results from Pegmatite D returning e.g. 1.92% Li2O over 26.80m (from 3.60m down hole) in drill […]
