Aura Energy Swedish tenement map

Aura Energy advised it lodged its exploitation permit application for the polymetallic Häggån project. While the application has not considered uranium due to the country’s current uranium ban, future legislative changes could present a significant upside to the project. The company also applied for a new exploration permit covering the area of the original Häggan […]

Drill Targets Identified At Orrvik

Ragnar Metals announced the identification of three drill-ready targets at its Swedish Orrvik lithium project. Following a geochemistry review and recent field observations together with a lithium expert, the company substantially increased its understanding of the lithium mineralization at Orrvik. At the name-giving prospect, most of the historic drilling is now thought to have been […]

McKnight Reports Lithium Assays From Lindon Project

McKnight Resources published assays from grab sampling at its Lindon lithium project in central Sweden. Samples from NE-SW running pegmatites near the coast show locally large spodumene crystals and returned up to 3.18% Li2O (Lin 3). Lindon project location near Gävle, Sweden (Source: www.mcknigth.se)

Drilling At Olserum Commences

European Green Transition announced the start of drilling activities at its Olserum Rare Earth Project in southern Sweden. The 1500m drilling program will test the western extension of the Olserum deposit, where recent fieldwork already confirmed the occurrence of REE mineralization. In addition, drilling will focus on the newly discovered Djupedal trend that has been […]
