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 […]
