Dundas and Disko Updates

Bluejay Mining provided an update on its Dundas Ilmenite project. Following a drilling campaign at the Moriusaq West deposit, designed to improve levels of confidence in the 2019 mineral resource estimate, the results returned lower grades and tonnages than expected ( Moriusaq West 2019 MRE: 59.3 Mt @ 3.26% in situ TiO2 vs. Moriusaq West […]

Assay Results from Storbodsund

QX Resources reported assay results from Bayrock’s Vuostock project, returning near-surface, high-grade Ni-Cu mineralization in several drill holes. Drill hole VUO23011 returned 6.2m @ 1.2% Ni, 2.2% Cu, 0.04% Co, and drill hole VUO23013 returned 6.9m @ 1.2% Ni, 0.3% Cu, 0.05 %Co, including 0.4m @ 3.9% Ni, 0.3% Cu, 0.11% Co. According to the […]

Korsnäs – High-Grade REE Assays

Prospech Limited reported high-grade REE values at its Korsnäs project from a comprehensive historic dataset that has been preserved by the Geological Survey of Finland. Highlighted historic REE assays include e.g. 2.77m @ 47,500ppm TREO in drill hole KR-285 or 4.86m @ 18,000ppm TREO in drill hole KR-292. The company notes that in addition to […]

Nianfors Exploration Licenses Granted

District Metals announced it was granted the Nianfors nr1 and nr2 exploration licenses located in Gävleborgs County, central Sweden. The Nianfors nr2 license contains the Majsaberget uranium-yttrium-molybdenum occurrence, consisting of 889 mineralized boulders that returned a weighted average of 0.16% U3O8 and 0.08% Y. In addition, several mineralized outcrops also occur, indicating a mineralized zone […]

First Drill Results From RÃ¥na

Kingsrose Mining reported assay results from its first two holes drilled at the RÃ¥na Nickel project in northern Norway. Hole 23BRU001 intersected 2.5m @ 1.00% Ni, 0.14% Cu, and 0.08% Co, including 1.0m @ 1.94% Ni, 0.18% Cu, and 0.18% Co 20m southwest and along strike of a historical massive sulfide intercept, in turn located […]

Hotinvaara Footprint Extended

Nordic Nickel reported assay results for an additional three drill holes from ongoing drilling at its Pulju Nickel project in northern Finland. Highlighted intercepts include for example 86m @ 0.18% Ni in drill hole HOT004, 54m @ 0.19% Ni in drill hole HOT005, or 70m @ 0.18% Ni in drill hole HOT010. The company notes […]

Talga Identifies Lithium Mineralization

Talga Group reported the identification of lithium-bearing pegmatites at its 100% owned Aero project in northern Sweden. Geological mapping resulted in the definition of a 14km long corridor hosting flat-lying pegmatites that returned up to 1.95% Li2O and consistently anomalous gallium values up to 56ppm. In the next phase, the company plans additional sampling, mapping […]

Airijokoi Drilling Commences

Kendrick Resources provided an operational update on its Swedish projects. A 1500m diamond drilling program commenced at the company’s Airijoki Vanadium project. The program aims to grow the existing JORC-compliant inferred resource (44.3Mt @ 0.4% V2O5) by testing the prospective strata further to the NE. In addition, the company recently completed a large-scale Ionic leach […]

High-Grade REE and Gallium Assays

Ragnar Metals reported high-grade REE and gallium rock chip sampling results from its Gruvhagen prospect in central Sweden. An initial field reconnaissance program at the newly acquired prospect returned REE-gallium mineralization with values up to 19.7% TREO (31%NdPr), 169g/t Ga, 0.8% Cu, and 490ppm cobalt. The REE-Gallium mineralization has been identified over 700m along the […]

Olserum REE Permit Expanded

Olserum REE Permit Expanded

European Green Metals announced a 10-fold expansion of its landholdings surrounding the Olserum REE deposit in southern Sweden. The company is currently finalizing an exploration plan to investigate several magnetite occurrences and newly identified anomalies within the new license area as REE mineralization in the Olserum district is known to have a close association with […]
