Puolalaki – SkyTEM Anomalies Identified

Avira Resources announced results from a recently conducted SkyTEM airborne EM survey at its Puolalaki project in northern Sweden. The survey was successful in identifying 14 EM anomalies that have been ranked based on their geophysical characteristics and geological context. The company is currently planning follow-up ground EM and BHEM surveys (using old drill holes […]

Lappvattnet 2023 Drill Results

Gungnir Resources reported assay results from its 2023 drilling program at the Lappvattnet nickel deposit. Testing the main zone continued to deliver high-grade assays, returning e.g. 6.10m @ 2.47% Ni, including 0.55m @ 7.36% Ni in drill hole LAP23-01. Drilling also intersected nickel mineralization in the footwall, returning e.g. 16.9m @ 0.56% Ni. Both, the […]

Häggån Scoping Study Released

Aura Energy released a scoping study covering parts of its polymetallic HäggĂĄn project in Sweden. The study is based on a 65Mt case scenario, representing only 3% of HäggĂĄn’s total 2Bt mineral resource estimate, and aims to recover vanadium, potash, nickel, molybdenum, zinc, and depending on the legal situation in Sweden and community approval, uranium. […]

Nianfors Exploration Licenses Granted

District Metals announced it was granted the Nianfors nr1 and nr2 exploration licenses located in Gävleborgs County, central Sweden. The Nianfors nr2 license contains the Majsaberget uranium-yttrium-molybdenum occurrence, consisting of 889 mineralized boulders that returned a weighted average of 0.16% U3O8 and 0.08% Y. In addition, several mineralized outcrops also occur, indicating a mineralized zone […]

MPS Reports High-Grade Cu Drill Results

Mineral Prospektering i Sverige AB reported assay results from diamond drilling at three of its fully owned projects in northern Sweden. The 2023 drilling campaign consisted of 15 diamond drill holes for a total of 4,431.9m, testing high-priority VTEM anomalies at two VHMS targets (Bjurtaskgruvan, Rockliden) and following up on a previous IOCG-style discovery at […]

Talga Identifies Lithium Mineralization

Talga Group reported the identification of lithium-bearing pegmatites at its 100% owned Aero project in northern Sweden. Geological mapping resulted in the definition of a 14km long corridor hosting flat-lying pegmatites that returned up to 1.95% Li2O and consistently anomalous gallium values up to 56ppm. In the next phase, the company plans additional sampling, mapping […]
