Sala – New High-Grade Zones Identified

Alicanto Minerals announced the identification of new high-grade silver and zinc zones at its Sala project in central Bergslagen. Recent drilling by the company at the southern extension of the prince load intersected e.g. 3.8m @ 259g/t Ag, 0.2% Zn, and 8.6% Pb in drill hole SAL2340. A two-hole drill program has further been successful […]

Bergby Li-Assay Results

United Lithium reported the remaining assay results from its 2022 drilling campaign at the Bergby Lithium project in Sweden. Newly reported assay results include e.g. 11.11m @ 1.1% Li2O in drill hole BBY21071 or 13.45m @ 0.91% Li2O in drill hole BBY21072. Following the discovery of these additional pegmatites, the company has now defined a […]

Assay Results from Puolalaki

Avira Resources reported initial assay results from its maiden drilling campaign at the Puolalaki project in northern Sweden. Drill hole PUO23002 intersected a wide zone of massive sulfides returning 36m @ 0.63% Ni, 0.57% Cu, 952ppm Co as well several higher-grade zones (e.g. 5.84m @ 0.71% Ni, 0.97% Cu, 1063ppm Co). While the massive sulfide […]

Barsele Drilling To Recommence

Barsele Minerals announced the resumption of drilling activities at the Barsel project. Approx. 15 holes for a total of 3000m are planned to test several orogenic gold and VMS targets. The main gold targets are the Risberget and Avan Zones while massive sulfide exploration will focus along the southeastern extension of the Norra VMS deposit. […]

LKAB Resource Update

LKAB published updated resource and reserve numbers for the Kiruna, Malmberget, Svappavaara and Per Geijer ores. Following successful exploration efforts, mineral resources increased by 16% to 800 Mt in Kiruna, by 22% to around 1.2 Bt in Malmberget and by 10% to more than 400 Mt in Svappavaara (Gruvberget). As previously reported, the Per Geijer […]

Bergby Li Drilling Commences

United Lithium announced a 4000m drill program at its Bergby Lithium project in Sweden. The program is designed to expand known lithium-bearing pegmatites along strike and depth, explore potential parallel zones, and test several lithium-bearing outcrops. The drill crews have already mobilized to Bergby, with the program expected to be concluded by end of July […]

Hemberget EM Survey

Gungnir Resources announced it is finalizing plans to conduct a 30-line kilometer EM survey on its Hemberget property, targeting shallow conductors in a large, layered mafic-ultramafic intrusion. A similar, but much smaller intrusion, previously discovered on the company’s nearby Knaften property was found to contain magmatic sulfide mineralization.   Hemberget and Knaften permits with airborne […]

Massive Sulfide Intersected At Puolalaki

Avira Resources announced the intersection of 36m of massive sulfides within a 76m wide zone of disseminated to blebby magmatic sulfides at its Puolalaki project in northern Sweden. The massive sulfides were encountered in drill hole PUO23002, testing a high conductive body at shallow depths. Initial visual logging indicates the sulfides to consist of a […]

Vittangi Resource Increased by 23%

Talga Group reported an increase in its Vittangi graphite resources by 23%. Following 2022 drilling around the Niska deposits, the updated estimate now includes a maiden resource for the Niska Link domain, resulting in a total project resource of 36.9 Mt @ 23.1% graphite at an 11% Cg cut-off grade. The estimate includes an indicated […]

Airijoki Geochemical Results

Kendrick Resources provided an update on a geochemical characterization study for the Arijoki project where a total of 651 soil samples have been collected over the last 2 years. Analysis and characterization of the samples resulted in the identification of several multi-element anomalies outside the main vanadium trend. Follow-up work will commence as soon as […]
