United Lithium Extends Nordic Footprint

United Lithium announced the acquisition of three new projects, prospective for lithium mineralization in Finland and Sweden. The newly acquired projects cover geological terrain highly favorable to host lithium-bearing pegmatites and increase the company’s landholdings in the Nordics by almost 300%. Two of the projects are located and southern Finland, whereas the third project lies […]

Mandalay Extends The Storheden Gold Deposit

Mandalay Resources reported results from recent exploration drilling at the Storheden gold deposit located some 600m north of the Björkdal gold mine. Highlighted assay results returned e.g. 70.2g/t Au over 0.45m (0.15m estimated true width) or 39.7g/t Au over 0.70m (0.45m estimated true width) in drill hole SH-06. Drilling confirmed the mineralization over a strike […]

Drilling Program Completed At Falun
