He and H detected In The Hammaslahti Area

80 Mile Plc announced the discovery of natural hydrogen and helium at the Hammaslahti project. Testing the outflow of two historical drill holes returned a natural hydrogen concentration of 1000ppm, the upper detection limit of the portable equipment used. Helium was detected at one of the two tested holes, reaching up to 8.90% and stabilizing […]

Latitude 66 Reports Fieldwork Results

Latitude 66 reported results from fieldwork at its Peräpohja Schist Belt project in northern Finland. Rock chip sampling at the Vinsa prospect returned extremely high Cu-Au assays from a historically known, mineralized quartz vein. (up to 11.3g/t Au & 20.1% Cu). Additional fieldwork resulted in the extension of the quartz vein to more than 1.3km […]

Kangasjärvi VMS Drilling Commences

Avrupa Minerals announced the start of drilling at the Kangasjärvi VMS project in central Finland. The up to 1000m diamond drilling program is designed to test two undrilled, high-priority conductors in the vicinity of the historic mine. Initial drilling will focus on the easier accessible southern anomaly, directly adjacent to the old working but cut […]

Korsnäs Drilling Returns High-Grade REE Mineralization

Prospech Limited reported the remaining assay results from its recent drilling program at the Korsnäs REE project in Finland. The drilling campaign (first since the ’70s) successfully intercepted REE mineralization in every drill hole, including very high grades as, for example, 12m @ 19,400ppm TREO (NdPrO2 3,567ppm), including 4m @ 51,096ppm TREO (NdPrO 9,157 ppm). […]
