Bastion Minerals Extends Swedish REE Portfolio

Bastion Minerals 11.04.2024

Bastion Minerals announced it submitted applications for eight additional claims in Sweden’s Bergslagen Mining district, increasing its total landholdings to 279.5 km2. Prospective for REEs and Cu, the company plans to initiate exploration activities by sampling and potentially ground magnetic surveys once the permits are granted.   Location of newly applied property claims in central […]

Drilling Commences At Ertelien

Drilling Commences At Ertelien

Kuniko announced the start of an eight-hole, 4000m drilling campaign at its Ertelien nickel-copper-cobalt project. The drilling program aims to connect isolated intervals of mineralization with the main area of historical drilling as well as to expand the resource along strike towards the west and at depth. Drilling is designed in 100m step-outs, allowing for […]

Ertelien Inferred Resource Estimate

Kuniko published an inferred mineral resource estimate for its Ertelien nickel-copper-cobalt project in Norway, returning 23.3Mt @ 0.21% Ni, 0.16% Cu and 0.014% Co. Notably, the resource includes a higher-grade core of 4.59Mt @ 0.44% Ni, 0.34% Cu, 0.03% Co. As approximately 17Mt of the resource is located above a depth of 250m, the company […]

European Energy Metals to Acquire 100% Of Finnish Li Project

European Energy Metals announced an amendment to a previous earn-in agreement concerning Capella Minerals Finnish Lithium project. Under the new agreement, European Energy Metals can acquire 100% interest in the project by paying 250,000 dollars in cash and the issue of 1,100,000 million shares as well as a 2% NSR to Capella. The project covers […]

GreenRoc Mining Consolidates Amitsoq Landholdings

GreenRoc Mining announced that the Government of Greenland approved the enlargement of its 2022-03 mineral exploration license, increasing the company’s landholdings surrounding the Amitsoq graphite deposit to 114km2. The newly granted area lies east of the town of Nanortalik and contains historic records about high-grade graphite mineralization.   GreenRoc’s exploration licenses surrounding the Amitsoq graphite […]

Kuusisuo Magnetic Separation Testwork Resutls

Great Northern Minerals published results from preliminary magnetic separation testwork of lithium-bearing minerals from its Kuusisuo project. The rejects from three previously analyzed rock chip samples were sieved to produce five different fractions of crusher fines. Ocular inspection of the fractions revealed that the 0.125mm-0.25mm fraction had the best liberation results. Subsequent magnetic separation of […]

Korsnäs Strike and Depth Extension

Prospech Limited reported further high-grade REE results from re-assaying of historic core from the former Korsnäs lead mine in Finland. The best results returned 24.0m @ 17,649 ppm TREO, including 7.3m @ 49,324 ppm TREO in historic hole KR-186, located at the southern end of the historic mine. Importantly, the newly received results further indicate […]

Nordic Nickel Commences BOT Program

Nordic Nickel announced the commencement of a 280-hole, 2240m bottom of till (BOT) drill program at its recently granted Holtinvaara exploration permit, several kilometers northeast of its existing Hotinvaara JORC resource. The sampling program aims to test a prospective magnetic anomaly that is located within the interpreted extension of the prospective ultramafic trend seen at […]

Kuniko Commences EM Surveys

Kuniko Commences EM Surveys

Kuniko Limited commenced several electromagnetic surveys at its Ringerike project in Norway. The surveys are designed to test for highly conductive magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide mineralization with loops planned at the Ertelien project but also at four additional targets within the prospective Ertelien trend. Results are anticipated in Q2 2024.   Ringerike Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project with highlighted […]

Ragnar Identifies Anomalies At Olserum North

Ragnar Metals published results from recently completed magnetic and gravity geophysical surveys at its Olserum North HREE project. A drone magnetic survey was successful in identifying multiple magnetic trends in a 4.5km long and up to 1km wide corridor. A gravity survey in the SE part of this trend resulted in the identification of multiple […]
