First Visuals from Skuterud

Kuniko Limited provided an update on ongoing drilling at its Middagshvile target near the historic Skuterud Cobalt mine in Norway. According to the company, visible sulfide and cobalt mineralization has been intersected in all five holes drilled to date, defining a mineralized zone open at depth. The intersected, mineralized horizon appears to contain cobaltite and […]

Drilling At Rostvangen Commences

Playfair Mining announced it started drilling at its Norwegian RKV project after receiving an off-road driving permit. Drilling will start at the Rostvangen SW MMI target, one of five targets to be tested this summer. The MMI target is located 800m to the east of the former Rostvangen mine and sits on the same stratigraphic […]

Kuniko -Exploration Update

Kuniko Limited provided an exploration update from its Norwegian projects. Drilling at the company’s Skuterud cobalt project is currently underway with 1007 of approx. 2800 planned meters drilled since the beginning of May. After testing the first target (Dovikkollen B), the rig is now testing the Damtjern target, before moving to the Middagshvile prospect near […]

Capella Minerals – Norway Exploration Update

Capella Minerals provided an update on its Norwegian Copper Cobalt Projects. At the company’s Kjoli project, drill targeting has been completed with permits for 4000m/25 drill holes in place. Four targets (Kjoli Deeps, the former Kjoli mine, Guldaslgruva and Gronskard) have been outlined. Drilling activities were expected to commence in April but are currently postponed […]

Drilling Commences At Skuterud

Kuniko announced the start of diamond drilling at the company’s Skuterud Cobalt project in Norway. The company’s maiden drill program will consist of 7 holes for approx. 2800m.

Playfair Mining announced the acquisition of the Folldal project in central Norway. Located approx. 25km southwest of the southern end of the company’s RKV project, the 80.7 square km Folldal project includes four historic copper-zinc mines that have been mined from the mid-18th century until 1970 and produced several million tons of Cu-Zn ore. Playfair […]

Conductors Defined At Middagshvile

Kuniko Limited reported the results from geophysical modeling of a downhole EM survey at the company’s Norwegian Skuterud project. Surveying three historic drill holes at the Middagshvile prospect resulted in the definition of two conductors that have historically been missed or been only partially intersected. In detail, it appears that one of the conductors was […]

Assay Results from Burfjord, Norway

Norden Crown Metals reported assay results from two 2021 drilling campaigns at its Norwegian Burfjord copper-gold project. Significant results include 30.1m @ 0.28% Cu in hole 003, 17.2m @ 0.34% Cu in hole 004 and 12m @ 1.27% Cu in hole 011. At Burfjord, mineralization occurs in high-grade copper-gold veins, historically mined at cut-off grades […]
