Final Assays From Central Lappvattnet

Gungnir Resources reported final assay results from 2022 drilling at the central zone of its Lappvattnet deposit. Notably, hole LAP22-23 returned 12m @ 1.02% Ni, including 5.13m @ 1.75% Ni. For the coming drill programs, the company plans to test the deposit below the 120m level, further along strike and down-plunge towards the east.   […]

Puolalaki – Ground and DHEM Completed

Avira Resources announced the completion of initial ground-based exploration work at its newly acquired Puolalaki Ni-Cu-Co project in northern Sweden. The work included a fixed loop ground EM survey as well as downhole surveying of three historic drill holes. Data is currently being processed and expected by the end of February. A UAV magnetic survey […]

Kallak Scoping Study Results

Beowulf Mining published results from a scoping study for its Kallak North Iron Ore project in northern Sweden. The scoping study was based on a “base case” focusing solely on the Kallak North deposit, while additional resources and exploration targets exist within the scope of the project. The base case study assumes 67 % of […]

LKAB – Per Geijer REE Estimate

LKAB published a resource estimate for the Per Geijer ores, highlighting a significant amount of REEs associated with the Fe-(P) ore. According to the estimate, the Per Geijer deposit contains 585 Mt @ 50.5% Fe, 2.41% P (Measured/Indicated + Inferred), and 0.18% TREO (Inferred), amounting to more than 1 Mt of rare earth oxides, making […]

District Metals Applies For Large Polymetallic Deposit

District Metals announced its application for a mineral license, covering a large part of the polymetallic Viken deposit in central Sweden. Viken is a large, undeveloped Alum shale vanadium-uranium-molybdenum-nickel-copper-zinc deposit with a 2014 resource estimate outlining 43Mt @ 0.019% U3O8, 0.034% Ni, 0.010% Cu and 0.041% Zn in the indicated and 3Bt @ 0.017% U3O8, […]

Highest-Grade Ni From Lappvattnet To Date

Gungnir Resources announced its highest-grade nickel intercept from Lappvattnet to date. Drill hole LAP22-25 returned 18.28m @ 1.49% Ni, including 5.76m @ 4.04% Ni. The hole was drilled in a 50m gap in the central part of the deposit, between historic holes LAP74292 and LAP76008, with the intersection potentially representing a zone of structural thickening. […]

New Assays From Granmuren

Ragnar Metals provided an update from recent drilling at its Tullsta project in central Sweden. Assays from drill hole 22DDTS010 returned 30m @ 0.78% Ni, 0.46% Cu, 0.08% Co in the upper zone from 167m and 42m @ 0.23% Ni, 0.18% Cu, including a zone of massive sulfides grading 2.9m @ 1.14% Ni, 0.38% Cu […]

New Assay Results From Greater Falun

Alicanto Minerals published new drill results from its Greater Falun project. First assays from the recently tested Skyttgruvan-Näverberg target confirmed the presence of multiple zones of mineralization, including 5.3m @ 6.8% ZnEq, 2.9m @ 14.7% ZnEq, 6.8m @ 9.7% ZnEq, and 3.9m @ 11.3% ZnEq (GRO22-19). A step-out hole (GRO2220) intersected 8m of stringer and […]

District Reports High-Grades From Svärdsjö

District Metals published historic drill results from its recently acquired Svärdsjö project in the historic Bergslagen Mining district. The historic Svärdsjö Zn-Pb-Cu deposit was mined from the mid-1700s until 1989 and produced 1.03Mt @ 112g/t Ag, 6% Zn, 2.7% Pb, 0.6% Cu and 0.4g/t Au. Historic exploration by Boliden resulted in depth extension of the […]

Lappvattnet – Footwall Mineralization Intersected

Gungnir Resources published new assay results and reported the identification of a new footwall nickel target from its Lappvattnet project in northern Sweden. Drilled in the western part of the deposit, hole LAP22-10 returned 7m @ 1.16% Ni, while several drill holes in the central part of the deposit intersected a new zone, believed to […]
