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

Tthe siderite-sphalerite mineralization in the upper zinc zone at Ivigtut

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 […]

Mestersvig 2022 Exploration Results

Conico reported 2022 drill and rock chip sampling results from its Mestersvig project in eastern Greenland. The drilling program targeted a fault structure running for 9km between the Blyklippen and Sortebjerg prospects, returning multiple intersections with a style and grade of mineralization analogous to the historic Blyklippen mine. The best hole, SBDD003 returned 4.5m @ […]

Amitsoq Island Final Drill Results

GreenRoc Mining reported the remaining assays from its phase 2 drill program at the Amitsoq Island Graphite project in southern Greenland. Results from both the lower and upper graphite layer grade around the 20% graphite mark, with mineable widths (>2m true thickness) intersected in eight holes of the UGL as well as in all 19 […]

Mo-Project Permitting Update

Greenland Resources provided a permitting update for its Malmbjerg Molybdenum project in central east Greenland. Following the completion of a definitive feasibility study in April 2022, the company got the Terms of Reference for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Social Impact Assessment (SIA) approved by the Government of Greenland, submitted a navigational safety investigation […]

Nalunaq 2022 Exploration Update

Amaroq Minerals reported results from its 2022 exploration program at the Nalunaq gold deposit in southern Greenland. Aiming to infill the existing resource in the Valley Block as well as to test an up-dip extension, the company drilled 46 diamond holes for a total of 9119m. 42 out of the 46 drill holes intersected the […]
