Talga Prepares For Lithium Drilling

Talga Group provided an exploration update from its Aero project in northern Sweden. Following the previous discovery of high-grade lithium mineralization, the company followed up with mapping and outcrop sampling to define the distribution of lithium in the main pegmatite. In addition, the company utilized UV light to map out spodumene occurrences and analyzed geophysical […]

Ragnar – Orrvik Lithium Acquisition

Ragnar Metals entered into an agreement to acquire the Orrvik lithium project from Pallas Metals AB. Located in Västernorrland County, Sweden, the project consists of four exploration licenses, hosting 2 known lithium pegmatite occurrences, assaying e.g. 3m @ 1.2% LiO2 and 0.2% Sn02 in historic drilling or up to 2.8% LiO2 in rock chip samples. […]

Talga Reports New Graphite Discovery

Talga Group provided an exploration update on its graphite projects in northern Sweden. At the Nunasvaara South deposit, the company recently completed a ground EM survey, aiming to delineate future drill targets to extend the existing resource at depth. Results are currently pending. At its Vittangi nr 6 exploration permit, some 8km to the north […]

Puolalaki – SkyTEM Anomalies Identified

Avira Resources announced results from a recently conducted SkyTEM airborne EM survey at its Puolalaki project in northern Sweden. The survey was successful in identifying 14 EM anomalies that have been ranked based on their geophysical characteristics and geological context. The company is currently planning follow-up ground EM and BHEM surveys (using old drill holes […]

Lappvattnet 2023 Drill Results

Gungnir Resources reported assay results from its 2023 drilling program at the Lappvattnet nickel deposit. Testing the main zone continued to deliver high-grade assays, returning e.g. 6.10m @ 2.47% Ni, including 0.55m @ 7.36% Ni in drill hole LAP23-01. Drilling also intersected nickel mineralization in the footwall, returning e.g. 16.9m @ 0.56% Ni. Both, the […]

Nordic Nickel - Step Out Hole Intersects Sulfides

Nordic Nickel reported the interception of visual sulfide mineralization in a step-out drill hole 500m to the south of the Hotinvaara mineral resource estimate boundary. Testing the Hotinsaajo magnetic anomaly, drill hole HOT026 intersected 123.8m of disseminated sulfides, including a net-textured part with patches of massive sulfides over 7.5m. To date, the company has completed […]

Vuostok Landholdings Expanded
