Maiden Resource For Sed Hosted Copper Project

Arctic Minerals published a maiden inferred Mineral Resource estimate for its Hennes Bay project in southern Sweden, returning 55.39Mt @ 1% CuEq for a total of 447,000t contained copper and 37Moz silver. Notably, the estimate is based solely on the Dingelvik prospect and does not include several prospects, where historic drilling already outlined stratiform copper […]

Basin Energy Reports Frist Pass Results

Örebro County, Sweden: Basin Energy received assay results from reconnaissance mapping at its Prästun and HÃ¥kantorp projects in Sweden. At HÃ¥kantorp, where numerous iron occurrences have been mined historically, sampling efforts of tailings and boulder material near the historic mine sites returned elevated REE and U3O8 values, up to 0.39%. While the controls on the […]

Nordic Iron Ore Reports Deep Drilling Success

Nordic Iron Ore announced the intersection of two zones of hematite mineralization in the first hole of a deep drilling campaign at its Blötberget project. Initial XRF analysis indicates 8m @ 60-65% Fe from 1044 to 1052m and 11m @ 40-45% Fe from 1063m to 1074m. The drilling program is part of a collaboration between […]

Positive Mineralogical Study Results From Bergby

United Lithium reported positive results from a mineralogical study at its Bergby Lithium project in central Sweden. Composite sampling of pegmatites B, C, D, and E revealed head grades of 1.03%, 1,72%, 1.49%, and 1.14% Li2O, respectively. Additional mineral abundance analysis and characterizations further revealed that Spodumene is the primary lithium mineral, accounting for 11.9% […]

New Drill Results From Viscaria

Norrbotten, Sweden: Viscaria published new assay results from its ongoing deep drilling efforts at its flagship project in northern Sweden. Highlighted intercepts include 38.6m @ 1.23% Cu, 29.7% Fe, including 13.5m @ 1.80% Cu, 35.44% Fe in the D-zone, 30.2m @ 1.26% Cu, 1.90g/t Ag, including 13.1m @ 2.35% Cu, 3.32g/t Ag in the B […]

Basin Energy Reports Results From Virka Project

Basin Energy reported assay results from fieldwork at its newly acquired Virka project in northern Sweden. The Q4 2024 sampling campaign successfully identified two different, structurally controlled mineralization styles – base metal mineralization and lead-uranium-REE mineralization. Samples from an outcropping base metal occurrence returned up to 8.98% Zn, 9.15% Pb, 0.34%Cu, 425g/t Ag, and 0.47g/t […]

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 […]
