Eclipse Metals – Drill Permit Application

Eclipse Metals announced the application for drill permits at its Groennedal-Ika project in western Greenland. 3D-inversion modeling of historic airborne magnetic data covering the carbonatite complex resulted in the definition of several vertically extensive magnetic bodies. According to previous exploration efforts, positive magnetic anomalism correlates strongly with REE mineralization at Groennedal-Ika. Notably, zones of high […]

AEX Gold – Strategic Acquisition

AEX Gold announced the acquisition of a significant land package, making it the largest landholder in Southern Greenland. The exploration licenses, acquired from Orano Group, are prospective for a number of strategic metals and include for example the Stendalen Iron-Vanadium-Titanium project, the Paatusoq REE project, and the North Sava project, prospective for IOCG and Porphyry […]

Promising Results from Vagar Ridge

AEX Gold provided an exploration update from its Vagar project in southern Greenland. The 2021 field program resulted in the identification of new orogenic veins with rock chip samples up to 86.7g/t Au as well as the identification of granodiorite hosted gold mineralization with sampling results up to 9.25g/t Au. According to the company, the […]

Orogenic Gold on Greenland’s East Coast

Conico provided assay results from its Sortekap prospect located within the company’s Ryberg project in eastern Greenland. Results from drill hole SODD003 included several short gold intercepts, including 1m @ 42.81g/t Au from 63m. According to the company the mineralization is interpreted to represent the first gold-bearing, orogenic quartz vein system on Greenland’s east coast. […]

Drilling Update from Skaergaard

Major Precious Metals provided an update on first results from its 2021 diamond drilling program at the Skaergaard project in Greenland. To date, the company received assay results for 11 of 32 drill holes of the 8435m program, designed to support and confirm a previous mineral resource estimate. The company notes that the results confirm […]

Updates from IOCG Exploration in Greenland

AEX Gold provided an exploration update from its Sava project in southern Greenland. Located near an Archean craton margin and potentially correlating with other major metal provinces in Eastern Canada and northern Scandinavia, the company evaluates the greenfield project as prospective for IOCG and Porphyry style mineralization. The 2021 field program, consisting of remote sensing, […]

Drilling Update From Nalunaq, Greenland

AEX Gold reported drill results from its 2021 exploration campaign at Nalunaq, southern Greenland. The company’s 51 drill hole program mostly focused on the Valley Block target area, a new emerging high-grade portion of the historically mined Nalunaq Main Vein. 33 of the drill holes intersected the quartz vein with 27 holes intercepting gold and […]

Disko-Nuussuaq update, Greenland

Bluejay Mining announced its 2022 exploration plans for the Disko-Nuussuaq project, Greenland. The program, undertaken by Bluejay and JV partner KoBolt Metals, is targeting Ni, Co, Cu, and PGE bearing, massive sulfides and will include approx. 9500 lkm of helicopter supported geophysical surveys, 200 lkm of soil sampling amounting to around 4000 sampling points, and […]

Eclipse Metals – Greenland sampling update

Eclipse Metals reported assay results from its Ivittuut and Gronnedal-Ika projects in Greenland. Grab samples from the historic Ivigtut mine dumps returned e.g. 26% fluorine, 165g/t Ag, 0.14% Cu, 3.83% Pb, and 0.37% Pb in sample I21012, whereas samples from Gronnedal-Ika returned highly anomalous REE values for both, heavy and light REE elements, underlining the […]
