Successful Amitsoq Graphite Test Work

GreenRoc Mining reported on successful battery test work using graphite from its Amitsoq deposit in southern Greenland. The electrochemical test work conducted by ProGraphite GmbH showed that the Amitsoq graphite material performed well against all studied parameters and showed no signs of damage or loss of capacity after several charging cycles. The company further advised […]

High-Grade Channel Samples From Nalunaq

Amaroq Minerals reported results from underground exploration at its Nalunaq gold mine in southern Greenland. In 2023, the company conducted a channel sampling program designed to verify unpublished historic assay results that indicated the continuation of high-grade mineralization beyond the last mined stope. Following a successful campaign returning intervals up to 48.3g/t Au over 1m, […]

Sava Drilling Results

Amaroq Minerals reported results from drilling at its Sava copper project in southern Greenland. As part of the 2023 exploration program, the company drilled four holes totaling 2200m across two targets prospective for porphyry and epithermal style mineralization. Three holes drilled at the Target West intersected copper-molybdenum mineralization over up to 345m with higher grade […]

Geophysical Surveys In Southern Greenland

Amaroq Minerals provided an update on recently conducted geophysical surveys at its southern Greenland exploration and development portfolio. During the 2023 field season, five different geophysical surveys for approximately 10 000 lkm were completed at the company’s Johan Dahl Land, Nunarsuit, Sava, Stendalen, and Kobberminebugt projects. Results from all the surveys have now been received […]

Gronnedal REE Exploration Target

Eclipse Metals defined a rare earth exploration target with over 5km strike length within the Gronnedal carbonatite complex. Interpolating mineralization to a depth of 50m indicates a conceptual exploration target between 175 and 245Mt with grades of 0.25%-0.5% TREE, including 32%-39% magnet REE (Nd, Pr, Dy, and Tb). The company notes that a drilling program […]

New Vein Discovery At Nalunaq

Amaroq Minerals reported results from its 2023 exploration drilling program at the Nalunaq project in southern Greenland. Testing the mountain block area in the vicinity of future planned mining activities, drilling returned the highest-grade gold intersections from the main vein to date, with drill hole NAL2305 returning 0.69m @ 182g/t Au. Notably, the drilling program […]

Dundas and Disko Updates

Bluejay Mining provided an update on its Dundas Ilmenite project. Following a drilling campaign at the Moriusaq West deposit, designed to improve levels of confidence in the 2019 mineral resource estimate, the results returned lower grades and tonnages than expected ( Moriusaq West 2019 MRE: 59.3 Mt @ 3.26% in situ TiO2 vs. Moriusaq West […]

Ivigtut Bulk Sample Results

Eclipse Metals reported bulk sample results from waste rock from the historic Ivigtut cryolite mine. The company is currently conducting metallurgical test work to identify processes to produce a salable product from the mineralized waste material. The volume of the waste rock is estimated to be approx. three million tons, with the company now considering […]

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)
