Drilling Update From Amitsoq

GreenRoc Mining provided an update on phase 2 drilling at its Amitsoq Graphite Project in southern Greenland. Following intersections of mineable widths in all holes drilled to date, the footprint of the deposit has now doubled and remains open towards northwest, west, and southwest. Visual inspections of the drill core suggest similar grades as returned […]

Regional Potential At Pulju

Nordic Nickel announced the acquisition of additional historic data, underlining the nickel sulphide prospectivity of the wider Pulju project area, outside the recently defined Hotinvaara MRE (133.6Mt @ 0.21% Ni, 0.01% Co). The historic dataset contains a total of 54 diamond drill holes for a total of 5844m, drilled between 1978-2008. Highlighted intercepts from the […]

Kvanefjeld exploitation permit

Greenland Minerals issued a statement regarding a draft decision by the Greenland Government that proposes to reject the company’s exploitation license application for the Kvanefjeld project. Kvanefjeld is one of the world’s largest undeveloped REE projects with over 1 billion tonnes of JORC-compliant mineral resources. The Greenland Government’s draft decision is based on a recent […]

New Ultramafic Unit Discovered At Lappvattnet

Gungnir Resources reported the discovery of a new ultramafic unit of similar style to the host unit of the Lappvattnet Nickel deposit. The peridotite, containing minor sulfides, was intersected approximately 150m to the north of Lappvattnet in two holes (3.5m in LAP22-13 and 0.3m in LAP22-12). As the ultramafic unit was intercepted towards the end […]

Resource Expansion Targets Identified At LK

Resource Expansion Targets

Palladium One reported the identification of new resource expansion targets at its LK PGE-Ni-Cu project in northern Finland. Following the completion of a high-resolution drone magnetic survey and a reconnaissance IP survey, the company identified the Lota zone as a high-priority target for resource growth. The Lota zone is interpreted as a flat-lying extension of […]

Middagshvile Drilling Completed

Kuniko reported the completion of drilling at the Skuterud Cobalt project. Drilling at the Middagshvile project intersected visual cobalt minerals in 7 out of 8 drill holes, defining a mineralized zone that is open at depth and towards the north. Notably, KNI_MDV008, representing a 280m step out from the primary drill site, intersected several mineralized […]

Drilling Commences At Granmuren

Ragnar Metals announced the start of drilling at Granmuren. The first stage of the 3000m diamond drill program aims to test the base of the intrusion, interpreted as the best zone for massive to semi-massive sulfide mineralization. Stage two will drill test the upper parts of the system, between shallow historic mineralization and drill hole […]

Vittangi – First Results From “Niska Link”

Talga Group reported new drill results from its “Niska Link” target, connecting the Niska South and Niska North graphite deposits. Results from the first 13 holes testing the 2km long trend returned wide and high-grade intercepts, e.g. 84m @ 20.2% Cg, including 37m @ 29.6 % Cg in drill hole NIS22005 or 103m @ 17.9% […]

First Visuals from Skuterud

Kuniko Limited provided an update on ongoing drilling at its Middagshvile target near the historic Skuterud Cobalt mine in Norway. According to the company, visible sulfide and cobalt mineralization has been intersected in all five holes drilled to date, defining a mineralized zone open at depth. The intersected, mineralized horizon appears to contain cobaltite and […]

Nordic Nickel – Encouraging Test Work Results

Nordic Nickel reported encouraging first-pass mineralogical and chemical test work results from its Hotinvaara nickel mineralization in northern Finland. Two bulk samples, averaging grades of 0.238% Ni and 0.714%Ni, returned a high Ni-in-Sulfide content (83% in sample 1 and 94% in sample 2), simple sulfide mineralogy with good liberation characteristics, and zero detected arsenic. The […]
