Kingsrose Kicks Off Exploration At Rana

Kingsrose Mining provided an update on exploration activities at its RÃ¥na nickel-copper-cobalt project in northern Norway. In anticipation of a 5000m drilling campaign scheduled to commence in July, the company built a team of local geologists as well as a support crew and commenced geophysical work, including airborne and ground MT as well as ground […]

Bergby Li Drilling Commences

United Lithium announced a 4000m drill program at its Bergby Lithium project in Sweden. The program is designed to expand known lithium-bearing pegmatites along strike and depth, explore potential parallel zones, and test several lithium-bearing outcrops. The drill crews have already mobilized to Bergby, with the program expected to be concluded by end of July […]

Undal-Nyberg Drilling Update

Kuniko reported visual results from drilling at its Undal-Nyberget copper project in central Norway. 8 drill holes for a total of 1544m have been drilled, testing multiple conductors at the Myrmalm prospect. Drilling intersected distinct zones of pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization, thereby confidently explaining the modeled conductors.   Granular Pyrite intersected in drill hole KNI_NYB003 […]

Hemberget EM Survey

Gungnir Resources announced it is finalizing plans to conduct a 30-line kilometer EM survey on its Hemberget property, targeting shallow conductors in a large, layered mafic-ultramafic intrusion. A similar, but much smaller intrusion, previously discovered on the company’s nearby Knaften property was found to contain magmatic sulfide mineralization.   Hemberget and Knaften permits with airborne […]

Massive Sulfide Intersected At Puolalaki

Avira Resources announced the intersection of 36m of massive sulfides within a 76m wide zone of disseminated to blebby magmatic sulfides at its Puolalaki project in northern Sweden. The massive sulfides were encountered in drill hole PUO23002, testing a high conductive body at shallow depths. Initial visual logging indicates the sulfides to consist of a […]

Initial Assays From Ertelien

Kuniko reported initial assays from recent drilling at its Ertelien Nickel project, returning 25.1m @ 1.14% Ni, 1.2% Cu, 0.07% Co, 0.17g/t Au, 0.06g/t Pd and 0.03g/t Pt in drill hole KNI_ER001, a twin hole to ER2006-06B. Resampling of the historical hole previously returned similar grades over a comparable interval (28.1m @ 1.34% Ni, 1.19% […]

Vittangi Resource Increased by 23%

Talga Group reported an increase in its Vittangi graphite resources by 23%. Following 2022 drilling around the Niska deposits, the updated estimate now includes a maiden resource for the Niska Link domain, resulting in a total project resource of 36.9 Mt @ 23.1% graphite at an 11% Cg cut-off grade. The estimate includes an indicated […]

Lainejaur Drilling Commenced

Bayrock Resources announced the commencement of diamond drilling at the high-grade Nickel-Cobalt-Copper Lainejaur project in northern Sweden. Drilling is testing an area of the Lainejaur project that has previously seen high-grade intersections, e.g. 9m@ 2.1% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.17% Co, 0.5g/t Au. The Lainejaur deposit was mined historically with a 2018 JORC-compliant estimate establishing an […]

Pulju Exploration Update

Plan view map over the Hotinvaara prospect

Nordic Nickel provided an update on geophysical surveying and ongoing drilling activities at its Pulju Nickel project in northern Finland. A recently completed Moving Loop EM survey resulted in the identification and refinement of multiple EM conductors within and outside the current JORC Estimate. The high-conductance plates will be tested as part of the ongoing […]

Enonkoski Exploration Update

Bluejay Mining reported encouraging drill results from its Enonkoski Ni-Cu-Co joint venture project with Rio Tinto. Two drill holes for a total of 951.1m were drilled at the Laukunlampi target, with one hole returning multiple intersections of nickel-copper sulfide droplet zones with high Ni-tenor. Following the encouraging results, drilling of a follow-up hole to test […]
