Exceptional Results From Ikkari

Rupert Resources reported on a recent project drilling program at Ikkari that was designed to increase confidence in the indicated mineral resource estimate and provide additional material for metallurgical test work and engineering studies. The drilling continued to confirm the robustness of the mineral resource by returning exceptional grades, highlighted by 120m @ 6.2g7t Au […]

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 […]

High-Grade from Heinä South

Rupert Resources reported new assay results from its winter drilling campaign at Heinä South and Ikkari. While continuing to intersect high-grade mineralization in infill drilling at Ikkari, the program was further successful in extending the mineralized zone at Heinä South to more than 250m along strike and to a depth of 200m, returning e.g. 10.5g/t […]

Kostonjarvi Feeder Dyke Project Update

GT Resources reported on the latest work in the vicinity of its Kostonjarvi (KS) Copper-Nickel-PGE project in northern Finland. The project hosts parts of an inferred large feeder dyke to the Koillismaa complex. While the Koillismaa complex hosts large tonnage, low-grade Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization, the feeder dyke is inferred to host more massive, high-value sulfide mineralization. […]

United Lithium Extends Nordic Footprint

United Lithium announced the acquisition of three new projects, prospective for lithium mineralization in Finland and Sweden.
