Channel Sampling Results From Olserum North

Ragnar Metals reported results from channel sampling at the Flaken prospect at its Olserum North Heavy Rare Earth project in Southern Sweden. The best channel returned 6.3m @ 4,824ppm TREO (33% HREO), including 0.38m @ 10,198ppm TREO. The company notes that the channels remain open under soil cover. Rock chip sampling further resulted in the […]

First Nordic Metals Identifies Large Till Anomaly

First Nordic Metals announced the discovery of a five km long, cohesive soil anomaly at its Storjuktan project in northern Sweden. The 5×1 kilometer-long As-Cu-M-Zn anomaly coincides with a historic ionic leach gold anomaly as well as favorable geology and a second-order structural corridor. For the remainder of 2024, the company plans to take additional […]

High-Grade Gold Intercepts Near Björkdal

Mandalay Resoruces

Mandalay Resources reported the final results from its regional exploration program testing selected targets in the vicinity of the Björkdal gold mine in northern Sweden. At the Lapptjärn target, drilling intersected structurally controlled gold mineralization with grades of up to 7.05m @ 5.3g/t Au. Mineralization at the prospect appears to be defined by higher-grade lodes […]

New REE Results From Olserum

European Green Transition reported high-grade assay results from additional field work at its Olserum REE project in southern Sweden. Following the discovery of an outcrop grading 0.74% TREO, the mineralization at Djupedal has now been extended over a 1km strike length. Recent forestry activity further uncovered additional historic dumps and trenches near the extremely high-grade […]

Vittangi Scoping Study Results

Talga Group published results from a scoping study considering potential expansions at its Vittangi Graphite project. The proposed mine plans support annual production rates of 0.6Mt, 1.0Mt, or 2.0Mt, resulting in potentially up to 425,000tpa of anode precursor concentrate.   Nunasvaara South mine infrastructure (Source: www.talgagroup.com)

Drilling Kicks Off At Barsele

First Nordic Metals announced the start of a spring drilling campaign at its flagship Barsele gold project, currently operated by JV partner Agnico Eagle. The drill program had initially been planned for 2100m for approx. 11 drill holes. As part of the program, the company plans to test a shallow conductor SW of the central […]

DMX – Additional Alum Shale Licenses Granted

District Metals announced that the mining inspectorate approved multiple additional licenses covering Alum shale targets in central Sweden. Covering a total of 91,470 hectares, the licenses significantly increase District’s landholdings over the shales prospective for vanadium, base metals, REE’s and uranium.   DMX licenses in the vicinity of the Tasjö deposit (Source: www.districtmetals.com)

Talga Publishes New Graphite Exploration Target

Talga Group published an updated JORC exploration target of 240-350Mt @ 20-30% graphite for its Vittangi project in northern Sweden. Following a compilation of new and updated drilling data, Skytem and ground TEM surveys, geological mapping and 3D modeling, the updated exploration target represents a significant increase from the previously reported 170-200Mt @ 20-30% Cg. […]

Ragnar Identifies More Rare Earths At Olserum North

Ragnar Metals reported assay results from its second field program at the Olserum North REE project in southern Sweden. Sampling was successful in identifying more mineralization at the Flaken and Hylleled prospects, returning assays up to 4.1% TREO and locally containing up to 65% heavy rare earths. The discovery of a new REE mineralized biotite/magnetite […]
