Kuniko – New Copper Claims Granted

Kuniko was granted two new exploration licences in the historically important, copper producing Trondelag county, Norway. The Vågå Copper project consists of 312.6km2 in an area with 9 historical copper mineral occurrences including former copper mines. The 73km2 Gullklumpan Copper project includes outcropping nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization, contains a 3km long feature marked by a coincident magnetic […]

Geophysical And Geochemical Results from Nyberget

Kuniko reported strong geophysical and geochemical results from its Undal-Nyberget copper project. Geophysical modeling defined two high-priority targets at the Myrmalm and Oyasaetra prospects. The modeled Maxwell plates at Myrmalm fit well with structural data, thus likely representing large, stratiform conductors. Outcropping mineralization along strike to the south and coincident geochemical anomalies make Myrmalm and […]

Kendrick Resources Exploration Update

Kendrick Resources provided an exploration update on its activities in Scandinavia. In Norway, the company continues investigating its Nickel assets, including resampling of historic drill core and meetings with local stakeholders. In Sweden, the company engaged Geovista AB to model geophysical data for the Airijoki and Kullberget projects, collected 521 soil samples at Airijoki and […]

Conductor Identified At Porsanger

Kingsrose Mining published results from a recently completed, electromagnetic geophysical survey at its Porsanger project in Finnmark County, Norway. The survey was successful in identifying a large, shallow and highly conductive EM anomaly, measuring at least 350 x 400m at the Karenhaugen intrusion. Notably, the conductor is consistent with the mapped plunge of the intrusion […]

Assay Results From Skuterud

Kuniko reported assay results from initial drilling at the Skuterud Cobalt project. All holes drilled at the Middagshvile prospect intersected significant intervals of cobalt mineralization, e.g., 11.1m @ 0.09% cobalt, 0.23% Cu, including 2m @ 0.15% Co, 0.25% Cu and 4.1m @ 0.13% Co, 0.41% Cu in drill hole KNI_MDV004. The company is currently preparing […]

Kuniko – Geochemical Sampling Results

Kuniko published geochemical sampling results from its Skuterud and Nord Helgeland projects. Following a detailed geochemical sampling campaign at Skuterud and the integration with datasets from previous years, the company was successful in outlining several new multi-element anomalies clustering along strike of mineral occurrences in the northern part of the property. Soil and rock chip […]

Cu-Mineralization Intersected At Burfjord JV

Norden Crown Metals provided an exploration update from its Cu-Au Burfjord project in northern Norway, advanced together with JV partner Boliden Mineral AB. Summer exploration activities included 3499.4m of diamond drilling with the objective to evaluate the copper-gold grade and continuity of new targets. According to the company, previously untested IOCG style copper mineralization was […]

Norra Metals – Exploration Plan Approval Received

Norra Metals announced it received approval of the submitted planned exploration work at its Norwegian Bleikvassli project from the Direktoratet for Mineralforvaltning, giving the company the right for further investigation at and around the historic mine. Initial, planned work at the project includes drill testing of the down dip extension of the central part of […]

Drilling Completed At RKV

Playfair Mining announced the completion of its 2022 drilling program at the RKV project in south-central Norway. According to the company, 11 holes for a total of 544.5m were drilled at Rostvangen, 6 holes for a total of 379.5m were drilled at Kletten and 2 holes totaling 183m were drilled at Saeterfjellet, with sulfides intersected […]

Minco Silver – Start of Exploration Activities

Minco Silver Corporation announced the start of exploration activities at its recently acquired Norwegian projects. Initially, the company plans to compile and reinterpret historic geophysical data and conduct systematic mapping and outcrop/soil sampling over selected targets. The company aims to follow up on the targets delineated by this exploration program by drill testing.
