High-Grade U From Northern Sweden

Basin Energy provided an update on work at its Björkberget, Rävaberget, and Virka energy metals projects in northern Sweden. The company is currently conducting a relogging and sampling campaign of historic drill core from its projects in northern Sweden. To date, the company has re-assessed all holes identified from the Virka project and 28 holes […]

Exploration Update From Atalaya Mining

Atalaya Mining provided an update on its Skellefte Belt and Rockliden projects in northern Sweden, where the company can earn an initial 75% interest in two separate land packages. Over the last months, a winter drilling program has been completed at both projects, resulting in 9 drill holes for a total of 2,445m @ the […]

Maiden Resource For Sed Hosted Copper Project

Arctic Minerals published a maiden inferred Mineral Resource estimate for its Hennes Bay project in southern Sweden, returning 55.39Mt @ 1% CuEq for a total of 447,000t contained copper and 37Moz silver. Notably, the estimate is based solely on the Dingelvik prospect and does not include several prospects, where historic drilling already outlined stratiform copper […]

District Reports Results From Stollberg Drilling

District Metals reported results from its recent drilling campaign at the Stollberg property, currently being advanced in collaboration with Boliden. Five holes for a total of 2438m have been drilled near the past producing polymetallic Gränsberg mine. Drilling south of the historic mine workings resulted in the intersection of mineralization in multiple drill holes, returning […]

Basin Energy Reports Frist Pass Results

Örebro County, Sweden: Basin Energy received assay results from reconnaissance mapping at its Prästun and HÃ¥kantorp projects in Sweden. At HÃ¥kantorp, where numerous iron occurrences have been mined historically, sampling efforts of tailings and boulder material near the historic mine sites returned elevated REE and U3O8 values, up to 0.39%. While the controls on the […]

Nordic Iron Ore Reports Deep Drilling Success

Nordic Iron Ore announced the intersection of two zones of hematite mineralization in the first hole of a deep drilling campaign at its Blötberget project. Initial XRF analysis indicates 8m @ 60-65% Fe from 1044 to 1052m and 11m @ 40-45% Fe from 1063m to 1074m. The drilling program is part of a collaboration between […]

Positive Mineralogical Study Results From Bergby

United Lithium reported positive results from a mineralogical study at its Bergby Lithium project in central Sweden. Composite sampling of pegmatites B, C, D, and E revealed head grades of 1.03%, 1,72%, 1.49%, and 1.14% Li2O, respectively. Additional mineral abundance analysis and characterizations further revealed that Spodumene is the primary lithium mineral, accounting for 11.9% […]

New Drill Results From Viscaria

Norrbotten, Sweden: Viscaria published new assay results from its ongoing deep drilling efforts at its flagship project in northern Sweden. Highlighted intercepts include 38.6m @ 1.23% Cu, 29.7% Fe, including 13.5m @ 1.80% Cu, 35.44% Fe in the D-zone, 30.2m @ 1.26% Cu, 1.90g/t Ag, including 13.1m @ 2.35% Cu, 3.32g/t Ag in the B […]

Basin Energy Reports Results From Virka Project

Basin Energy reported assay results from fieldwork at its newly acquired Virka project in northern Sweden. The Q4 2024 sampling campaign successfully identified two different, structurally controlled mineralization styles – base metal mineralization and lead-uranium-REE mineralization. Samples from an outcropping base metal occurrence returned up to 8.98% Zn, 9.15% Pb, 0.34%Cu, 425g/t Ag, and 0.47g/t […]

Basin Energy Reports High Grade Uranium Assays

Basin Energy reported the identification of high-grade uranium mineralization at several prospects in Northern Sweden. The highest grades, appear to be linked to vein and shear-hosted uranium mineralization at the Björkberg target, with two samples exceeding the detection limit of 2.95% U3O8. Further vein-related mineralization with grades up to 0.67% U3O8 and the occurrence of […]
