Gronnedal Maiden Drilling Results

Eclipse Metals published assay results from its maiden percussion drilling program at the Gronnedal REE prospect. REE mineralization was intersected for the full length of all holes down to a depth of 22m with highlighted intersections returning e.g., 22m @ 9052ppm TREO, 20m @ 7132ppm TREO or 6m @ 9198ppm TREO. The company notes that […]

Gronnedal Trenching Results

Eclipse Metals published assay results from a trenching program at its Gronnedal REE project in Greenland. Assaying returned REE mineralization in all 52 trenches with values up to 16 444ppm TREO. Diamond drilling to test the mineralization at depth is expected to commence in Q4 2023.   Gronnedal trench sampling results (TREO) (Source: www.eclipsemetals.com.au)

Hammaslathi And Kangerluarsuk Update

Bluejay Mining provided a placing and operational update. At Hammaslathi, the company recently drilled seven holes for a total of 1935.7m into the E-Lode with all holes intersecting visible sulfide mineralization. Assaying is currently ongoing and a lithological and petrological study has been commissioned. The company is currently planning to drill another 1000m at the […]

REE Containing Minerals Identified At Gronnedal

Eclipse Metals reported promising mineralogical results from its Gronnedal REE prospect in SW Greenland, where previous exploration identified unknown pink-orange mineralized material in a 1.5km x3km large area. An ongoing mineralogical assessment of the material now identified composite ferro-carbonate minerals containing elevated medium to heavy REE. Assay results from drilling at Ivigtut and Gronnedal in […]

Nanoq Exploration Results

Amaroq Minerals published 2022 exploration results from the Nanoq gold prospect in Southeastern Greenland. Interpretation of a high-resolution heli-borne geophysical survey over the Nanoq, Siku and Jokum’s Shear gold projects revealed numerous potential gold trap structures, coinciding with known high-grade samples. Among others, the survey revealed an area to the west of the Nanoq gold […]

Ivigtut Historic Drill Hole Assessment

Eclipse Metals reported results from investigating an old diamond hole drilled into the center of the historic Ivigtut mine in Greenland. Logging and XRF analysis of the upper part of the hole resulted in a better understanding of the remaining mineralization under the present Ivigtut open pit floor. Notably, two zones of zinc-rich mineralization have […]

Vagar Ridge 2022 Results

Amaroq Minerals reported results from its 2022 exploration program at the Vagar license. Four scout drill holes were drilled to identify the style and attitude of the vein and granite-hosted gold mineralization in preparation for more systematic exploration. All drill holes intersected anomalous gold values, returning up to 1.93m @ 1.58g/t Au. The company sees […]

Kangerluarsuk Survey Results

Kangerluarsuk Survey Results

Bluejay Mining reported positive results from a 2022 airborne geophysical gravity and magnetic survey at its Kangerluarsuk Zinc-Lead-Silver project in western Greenland. Integration of the new results into existing electromagnetic, magnetic, geochemical, and geological datasets resulted in a refining and upgrading of existing drill targets that will allow the company to test multiple combined geophysical […]

Greenland Skarn Exploration

Amaroq Minerals published results from its 2022 exploration program at the Kobberminebugt license. The work was successful in confirming the copper mineralization at the historic Josva copper mine to be skarn related with a channel sample testing the remaining mineralization returning 2.5m @ 4.2% Cu, including 0.5m @ 11.6% Cu. In 2023, the company plans […]

Amitsoq Resource Update

Greenroc Mining published updated resource numbers for its Amitsoq island project in southern Greenland. Following a 2022 diamond drilling campaign, the updated resource almost tripled the maiden estimate, amounting to now 23.05Mt @20.41% Graphitic Carbon, giving a total graphite content of 4.71 Mt. The project now ranks as one of the highest grade deposits globally […]
