Prospective Targets Identified At Ringerike

Kuniko reported the identification of four prospective nickel-copper targets at its Ringerike project, where results from a stream sediment and mapping program indicate that mineralization occurs within NNW-SSE trending intrusions. Notably, the occurrence of nickel and copper anomalies between the historic Ertelien and Langedalen sites suggests potential for undiscovered mineralization. In addition to the battery […]

PGE-Copper Mineralisation Confirmed At Porsanger

Kingsrose Mining reported on the resampling of historic core from the Porsvann and Karenhaugen intrusions at the company’s Porsanger PGE-Cu-Ni project in Norway. Assay results confirm the presence of broad zones of palladium dominant PGE-copper mineralization, returning e.g., 45m @ 1.4g/t 4E and 0.1% Cu, including a higher-grade zone of 15m @ 2.6g/t 4E and […]

Arctic Minerals – New Gold Project In Norway

Arctic Minerals announced a letter of intent regarding the acquisition of a Norwegian gold project. The Katterat property contains exploration permits totaling 116km2 in the Narvik municipality. At the projects, rock chip samples returned 0.9 to 18g/t Au and visible gold has been panned from soil samples. The gold mineralization appears to be connected to […]

RKV Drilling Update

Playfair Mining provided a drilling update from its Norwegian RKV project. Following completion of initial drilling at the Rostvangen and Kletten MMI targets, the rig is now drilling the Saeterfjellet MMI target in the north of the project area. 11 holes, amounting to 544m were drilled at the Rostvangen target while Kletten was tested with […]

EMX Royalty Options 2 Norwegian Projects

EMX Royalty announced the execution of an exploration and option agreement regarding two Norwegian projects with Minco Silver Corporation. Both projects, namely the Sagvoll and Sulitjelma projects host VMS and magmatic sulfide nickel copper-style mineralization. At the Sagvoll project, EMX has identified multiple “walk-up” style drill targets based upon historical Xstrata data, while the past […]

Middagshvile Drilling Completed

Kuniko reported the completion of drilling at the Skuterud Cobalt project. Drilling at the Middagshvile project intersected visual cobalt minerals in 7 out of 8 drill holes, defining a mineralized zone that is open at depth and towards the north. Notably, KNI_MDV008, representing a 280m step out from the primary drill site, intersected several mineralized […]

First Exploration Update From Porsanger

Kingsrose Mining provided an exploration update for its Porsanger PGE-Copper-Nickel project in Norway. Exploration at Porsanger is commencing with a ground-based, fixed-loop electromagnetic, geophysical survey, focusing on the Porsvann and Karenhaugen intrusions. In addition, the company also completed a resampling program of existing drill core in order to verify historic data and analyze for a […]

Capella Minerals - Further Increase In Landholdings

Capella Minerals announced it expanded its landholdings in the Hessjogruva district by being granted 20km2 of new exploration rights and filing an application for an additional 25km2 further to the south. The projects are located approximately 6km to the east of the company’s 100%-owned Hessjogruva project.   Newly granted and applied exploration claims in the […]

Burfjord Drilling Commences

Norden Crown Metals announced it commenced a minimum 3000m diamond drill program at its Burfjord copper-gold project, advanced together with Boliden Mineral AB. The drill program will target a variety of geological, geochemical, and geophysical targets to evaluate copper-gold grades and test the continuity of mineralization within an area of extensive historic workings. The company […]

Capella Minerals – New Claims Staked

Capella Minerals - New Claims Staked

Capella Minerals announced the staking of new claims in Norway’s past-producing Vaddas-Birtavarre copper-cobalt district. The district contains several Caledonian-age sulfide deposits at different stratigraphic levels and has seen limited historical exploration and small-scale mining but no modern exploration since the 70s.   Newly granted and applied exploration claims (Source: www.capellaminerals.com.)
