Additional Assay Results Confirm Olserum REE potential

European Green Transition reported the next batch of assay results from recent drilling at its Olserum REE project in southern Sweden. The newly released assay results confirm the continuation of high-grade REE mineralization 60m below outcropping mineralization in the western part of the Djupedal prospect, returning multiple mineralized zones with the best one grading 1.18% […]

Ground Magnetic Survey Completed At Gyttorp

Bastion Minerals reported results from a recently completed ground magnetic survey at its Gyttorp REE-Cu project in central Sweden. Thanks to its high resolution, the ground survey was successful in better delineating the magnetite skarn associated REE-Cu mineralization at the project and identifying new trends. Together with previous geological sampling work in the area the […]
