New Lithium Discoveries At Bergby

United Lithium announced the discovery of new spodumene-bearing pegmatites at its Bergby project in central Sweden. As part of an ongoing, expanded, 6000m drill program, the company is currently drill testing newly discovered pegmatites D and E, with assay results from Pegmatite D returning e.g. 1.92% Li2O over 26.80m (from 3.60m down hole) in drill […]

REE Potential At Blötberget

Nordic Iron Ore reported on additional REE assay results of historic drill core from its Blötberget Iron deposit. New results returned up to 15285ppm TREO in the footwall of the ore body and 876ppm TREO in the main ore body from 548-566m. The company plans to further investigate the size and scale of the REE […]

Ragnar Lithium Sampling Assays

Ragnar Metals reported lithium assay results from recent exploration efforts at its Swedish properties. Sampling at the Orrvik & Bergom projects returned rock chip samples grading e.g. 1.7% Li2O and 27.9ppm Ta2O5 at the Stenback prospect or 1.2% LiO2 and 262ppm Ta2O5 at the Orrvik prospect. At the Hälleberget lithium project, new lithium mineralization, grading […]

Talga Prepares For Lithium Drilling

Talga Group provided an exploration update from its Aero project in northern Sweden. Following the previous discovery of high-grade lithium mineralization, the company followed up with mapping and outcrop sampling to define the distribution of lithium in the main pegmatite. In addition, the company utilized UV light to map out spodumene occurrences and analyzed geophysical […]

Ragnar – Orrvik Lithium Acquisition

Ragnar Metals entered into an agreement to acquire the Orrvik lithium project from Pallas Metals AB. Located in Västernorrland County, Sweden, the project consists of four exploration licenses, hosting 2 known lithium pegmatite occurrences, assaying e.g. 3m @ 1.2% LiO2 and 0.2% Sn02 in historic drilling or up to 2.8% LiO2 in rock chip samples. […]

Talga Reports New Graphite Discovery

Talga Group provided an exploration update on its graphite projects in northern Sweden. At the Nunasvaara South deposit, the company recently completed a ground EM survey, aiming to delineate future drill targets to extend the existing resource at depth. Results are currently pending. At its Vittangi nr 6 exploration permit, some 8km to the north […]
