Puolalaki – Gold System Extended

Avira Resources reported final assay results from its phase 1 drilling program at the Puolalaki Ni-Cu-Co-Au project in northern Sweden. Targeting a fixed loop EM conductor, drill hole PUO23005 intercepted several zones of high-grade gold mineralization returning e.g., 9.57m @ 3.82g/t Au from 494.63m or 4.5m @ 3.04g/t Au from 513m. In conjunction with known […]

Airijokoi Drilling Commences

Kendrick Resources provided an operational update on its Swedish projects. A 1500m diamond drilling program commenced at the company’s Airijoki Vanadium project. The program aims to grow the existing JORC-compliant inferred resource (44.3Mt @ 0.4% V2O5) by testing the prospective strata further to the NE. In addition, the company recently completed a large-scale Ionic leach […]

High-Grade REE and Gallium Assays

Ragnar Metals reported high-grade REE and gallium rock chip sampling results from its Gruvhagen prospect in central Sweden. An initial field reconnaissance program at the newly acquired prospect returned REE-gallium mineralization with values up to 19.7% TREO (31%NdPr), 169g/t Ga, 0.8% Cu, and 490ppm cobalt. The REE-Gallium mineralization has been identified over 700m along the […]

Olserum REE Permit Expanded

Olserum REE Permit Expanded

European Green Metals announced a 10-fold expansion of its landholdings surrounding the Olserum REE deposit in southern Sweden. The company is currently finalizing an exploration plan to investigate several magnetite occurrences and newly identified anomalies within the new license area as REE mineralization in the Olserum district is known to have a close association with […]

Ragnar Metals – Lithium Update

Ragnar Metals provided an exploration update on its two newly acquired lithium projects. An initial field visit to the Hälleberget project confirmed the presence of highly fractionated and fertile LCT-pegmatites, with prominent outcrops extending for at least 400m and widths up to 30m. Following the identification of unsampled pegmatites to the south, Ragnar has lodged […]

Sale Of Two Nickel-Line Projects

EMX announced the sale of two Nickel-Copper-PGE-Cobalt projects to Kendrick Resources, adding to an existing agreement between the companies. Both, the Njuggtäskliden and Mjövattnet projects are located along or in close vicinity to the so-called Nickel line, south of the SkellefteÃ¥ area, and are associated with known Nickel sulfide mineralization. Permitting for drill testing at […]

Massive Sulfides Intersected At Vuostok

Massive Sulfides Intersected At Vuostok

QX Resources announced the intersection of massive sulfide mineralization at Bayrock’s Vuostok nickel-copper project in northern Sweden. Up to 6m wide pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and chalcopyrite mineralization was intersected in seven drill holes, with five intersections containing massive sulfide zones up to 1.9m thick. The mineralization is confined to a flat-lying body in the basal section […]

District Metals Granted Sågtjärn License

District Metals Granted Sågtjärn License

District Metals announced it received approval for the SÃ¥gtjärn mineral license applications. The claim contains the SÃ¥gtjärn uranium deposit, with a historical inferred resource of 756 000tons grading 0.068% U3O8. Historic intersections of the deposit returned e.g., 8.7m @ 0.13% U3O8 in drill hole SGT-77-007 or 7.0m @ 0.18% U3O8 in drill hole SGT-77-011. Notably, […]

Björkdal Extension Concession Granted

Mandalay Resources announced it received the mining concession permit for the Eastern Extension Zone at its Björkdal operation. The new permit will allow the company to extend the mining envelope by 350m.   Björkdal Mining Concession Map (Source: www.mandalayresources.com)
