Korsnäs TSF Assay Results

Prospech Limited published assay results from recent drill testing of the historic Korsnäs tailings storage facility. The results from a total of 480 samples distributed over 57 drill holes returned an average of 6,465 ppm TREO with an average NdPr oxide content of 1,896 ppm. The analyzed twin holes showed excellent repeatability of the REE […]

Geophysics Completed At Kupukka

Geophysics Completed At Kupukka

Kupukan Grafiitti published results from recently completed ground geophysical surveys at its Kupukka Graphite project in central Finland. Carried out by the GTK, the survey consisted of seven lines over the inferred graphite horizon. Both, magnetic and electromagnetic properties of the subsurface were recorded over a total of 2620m. Results indicate that the identified anomalies […]

European Green Transition Receives Olserum Drill Permit

European Green Transition provided an update on certain developments relating to its flagship Olserum REE project in southern Sweden. Most notably, the company received its drill permit for an initial program of up to 9000m. The workplan includes drill pads to allow for infill drilling at the existing Olserum resource but also to test newly […]

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 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 […]
