New Exploration Results from Puolalaki

Avira Resources reported new assay results from recent drilling its Puolalaki project. Results for two more holes testing the newly discovered, near-surface massive sulfide mineralization returned 17.05m @ 0.70% Ni, 0.70% Cu and 1049ppm Co in drill hole PUO23007 and 19.4m @ 0.35% Ni, 0.39% Cu and 558ppm Co, including 4.43m @ 0.73% Ni, 0.71% […]

Korsnäs Tailings Drilling Completed

Prospech Limited reported the completion of drilling at the historical Korsnäs Tailings Storage Facility. As part of the program, the company drilled 64 holes to an average depth of 9m. Samples of 57 holes have subsequently been dispatched for assaying, while seven drill holes have been retained for future metallurgical test work.  The company hopes […]

Hotinvaara Mineral Resource Update

Nordic Nickel published an updated MRE for its Hotinvaara prospect following an extensive drilling campaign in 2023. The new estimate amounts to 418Mt @ 0.21% Ni, 0.01% Co and 53ppm Cu for a total of 862800t contained nickel, 40000t contained cobalt and 22100t contained Cu. According to the company, some 460000t of the contained nickel […]

Kingsrose Consolidates Råna Project

Kingsrose Mining announced the exercise of an option agreement with Viad Royalties AB, a wholly owned EMX subsidiary, to further consolidate its Råna Nickel project. By exercising the option, Kingsrose has acquired 100% interest in the tenure that can be retained by providing EMX with a 2.5% NSR, annual exploration expenditures, the payment of advanced […]

Kuusisuo Li Project Similarities To Cinovec

Great Northern Minerals reported encouraging petrography and mineralogy results from its Kuusisuo Li project in Finland. Thin section analysis and LA-ICP-MS probing resulted in the identification of striking similarities between the lithium mineralization at Kuusisu and the giant Cinovec deposit in the Czech Republic (708.2Mt @ 4,300 ppm Li2O, 500 ppm Sn and 200 ppm […]

Resistivity Targets Identified At Orrvik

Ragnar Metals announced the identification of three new geophysical targets at its Orrvik Lithium project. The anomalies were identified by employing a resistivity tomography survey over the known lithium occurrences and their northern and southern extensions. The survey was successful in identifying high resistivity anomalies on all three profiles. While a high resistivity anomaly in […]

Drilling At Korsnäs TSF Commenced

Prospech Limited announced the commencement of drilling at the Korsnäs historical tailings storage facility. The planned 50-hole campaign aims to assess the REE potential of the historic tailings storage facility and is scheduled to be completed by the end of February.   Drilling at the Korsnäs historic tailings storage facility (Source: www.prospech.com.au)

Black Schist Project Drill Results

Metals One reported assay results from a 1551m, eight-hole diamond drilling program at its black schist project in Finland. Mineralized black schists were intersected in all holes, grading e.g. 14.7m @ 0.18%Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.01%Co & 0.57% Zn in drill hole RAU0002. Drilling further confirmed the synformal nature of the mineralized layers, prompting the company […]

Identification Of Eight Graphite Targets

Western Gold Resources announced the identification of 8 graphite targets at its Loberget and Hogaberg graphite projects, north of the Woxna graphite mine in central Sweden. Compilation and interpretation of existing geophysical datasets by Geovista resulted in the identification of three NW-striking conductors for a combined strike length of 11.5km at Loberget and five conductors […]

New Assay Results From Puolalaki

Avira Resources reported initial assay results from phase two drilling at the Puolalaki Ni-Cu-Co-Au project in northern Sweden. Following up on the massive sulfide discovery from April 2023, drill hole PUO23006 intersected 19m @ 0.65% Ni, 0.75% Cu, 954ppm Co from only 22m. Additionally, lower grade, disseminated mineralization was intercepted underneath the massive sulfide intercept […]
