Basin Energy Reports High Grade Uranium Assays

Basin Energy reported the identification of high-grade uranium mineralization at several prospects in Northern Sweden. The highest grades, appear to be linked to vein and shear-hosted uranium mineralization at the Björkberg target, with two samples exceeding the detection limit of 2.95% U3O8. Further vein-related mineralization with grades up to 0.67% U3O8 and the occurrence of […]

Aida Drilling Commences

First Nordic Metals announced the start of diamond drilling at the Aida target, where previous intersections returned up to 22.5m @ 2.4g/t Au. The company plans to test over 3km of a promising structural corridor, coincident with geochemical anomalies, via initially 24 diamond drill holes for more than 5000m. Upon success of this drilling program, […]

Tomtebo Drilling Commences

District Metals announced that its joint technical committee with Boliden has approved the 2025 exploration budget for the polymetallic Tomtebo and Stollberg properties. The budget amounts to 3 million CAD and will include geological field work, review of historic data and core drilling. Drilling at Tomtebo has already started and will include three to four […]

Basin Energy Tenement & Exploration Update

Basin Energy advised it was granted a new exploration permit in northern Sweden. The new Trollberget permit covers 116km2 and signifyingly increases the company’s landholdings near its existing Virka, Björkberget, and Rävberget projects. During November and December, the company conducted an initial reconnaissance program at the three projects resulting in nineteen samples from Björkberget, three […]

First Nordic Commences Additional BOT Drilling

First Nordic Metals announced the start of base of till drilling at the Harpsund and Brokojan targets at its Paubäcken project in northern Sweden. The drilling program is designed to test the two multi-element geochemical till anomalies that have been identified during previous exploration campaigns and will include up to 180 holes.   Harpsund and […]

First Nordic Discovers Additional Till Anomalies

First Nordic Metals announced the discovery of multiple As-Cu-Zn till anomalies at its Storjuktan project in northern Sweden. These newly identified anomalies, discovered through a glacial till sampling program with over 17,000 samples collected to date, add to the growing list of exploration targets, which includes the previously identified 5 km-long Nippas gold and pathfinder […]

Basin Energy Officially Enters Scandinavia

Basin Energy announced the completion of its Scandinavian exploration portfolio acquisition. Following the finalization of the deal, the company controls multiple projects, prospective for uranium mineralization in Sweden and Finland.

Deep Drilling To Commence At Blötberget

Nordic Iron Ore announced plans for a deep drilling program at its Blötberget project in collaboration with the Smart Exploration Research Centre. The drilling program will consist of deep holes targeting promising seismic features that have been identified in extensive seismic surveys conducted in the area. Drilling is expected to commence in mid-January and conclude […]

Mandalay Reports Discovery Of New Vein Zone At Björkdal

Mandalay Resources reported the discovery of a new domain of gold mineralization 200m to the north of current operations at its Björkdal mine. To date, the discovery zone has been defined in 18 veins over a strike length of 400m and a height of 250m. The best intercepts to date include 178.9g/t Au over 1.15m, […]

EGT Reports Final Olserum Drill Results

European Green Transition reported the final results from its maiden drilling campaign at the Olserum REE project in southern Sweden. Returning for example 22.5m @ 0.58% TREO, including 2.45m @ 2.71% TREO (33.4% HREO), the final batch further confirmed the company’s exploration model, of multiple, locally high-grade, mineralized structures being present at the project.   […]
