Ertelien Drilling Completed

Kuniko reported final visual results from its 5-hole drill program at the Ertelien Nickel prospect in south-central Norway. The holes were drilled on a single section, aiming to better constrain the continuity of geology and mineralization and guide future drilling, with two of the previously reported holes representing twin holes to historic intercepts. Testing the […]

Råna Intrusive Complex Acquisition

EMX announced the sale of its Råna battery metal project to Kingsrose Mining. Kingsrose previously entered into an agreement regarding the northwestern parts of the intrusion, including the past producing Bruvann Mine. Following the 2nd deal with EMX, Kingsrose Mining now controls 208 km2 of prospective ground, including the entire Råna intrusion. After initial mapping […]

Kuniko – Drilling Update

Kuniko Limited announced the intersection of further massive sulfide mineralization from drilling at its Ertelien Nickel project. Visible mineralization was intersected in a twin hole (KNI_ER003) to historic drilling from Blackstone Ventures, as well as in an additional hole between the twin hole and surface (KNI_ER004). Both drill holes returned several intervals of semi-massive to […]

Kjoli Drilling Update

Capella Minerals provided an update from initial drilling at its Kjoli Copper project in Norway. To date, six holes totaling 1080m have been completed. Remobilized semi-massive chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization has locally been intersected, especially around the Guldalsgruva prospect. Drill hole KJ-001, planned to test the Kjoli Deeps target deviated significantly. A follow-up DHEM survey confirmed the […]

Massive Sulfides in Ertelien Twin Hole

Kuniko reported massive sulfides from the first hole drilled at its Ertelien Nickel project. Hole KNI_ER001 was drilled as a twin hole to verify high-grade mineralization encountered in historic hole ER2006-06B. Recent re-assay of the drill core from ER2006-06B returned 28.07m @ 1.34% Ni, 1.19% Cu, 0.07% Co and 0.14 ppm Au, including 19.9m @ […]

Playfair Mining Updated Landholdings

Playfair Mining Updated Landholdings

Playfair Mining announced an application for the North Osterdalen project to the east of the company’s RKV and Folldal projects. The new project contains three former copper/zinc mines and numerous sulfide occurrences, with the last systematic regional exploration recorded in the early 1980s. Following negative results from recent exploration at RKV and the interpretation that […]

Drilling Commences At Kjoli

Capella Minerals announced the start of scout drilling at its Norwegian Kjoli Copper-Cobalt-Zinc project. The 1250m drill program aims at testing a coincident gravity and electromagnetic anomaly at Kjoli Deeps as well as potential down-dip extensions to former copper mining operations in the Kjoli Mine and Guldalsgruva areas. Drilling will be followed up by downhole […]

Kuniko Kicks Off New Drill Program

Kuniko announced the start of a new drilling campaign to test three of its highest-priority projects in Norway. The first holes will be drilled at the Ertelien Nickel project, aiming to verify key historic intersections close to the historic mine and to demonstrate continuity between historic drill holes across the Ertelien geological model to support […]

Råna Ni-Cu-Co Acquisition

Kingsrose Mining announced it entered into a transaction implementation agreement for a staged investment into the Råna Nickel-Copper-Cobalt project. The project is centered around the past-producing Bruvann Mine near Narvik, Norway. At Bruvann, historic production is reported to have totaled 8.5Mt @ 0.5% Ni, 0.1%Cu, and 0.03% Cu, and mineralization remains open in multiple directions. […]

Lokken – Targeting Update

Lokken - Targeting palces

Capella Minerals provided an exploration update for its Lokken copper-cobalt-zinc project in central Norway. Recent fieldwork focused on a 5km long corridor extending eastward from the historic Lokken mine and included systematic ground magnetic surveys, ionic leach sampling, and the evaluation of historic data. The exploration efforts resulted in the identification of a 1.5km long, […]
