ÅSOREN GRUVE PROJECT

  • Close to the town of Otta in Central Norway, on the national E6 highway and railway
  • Apparent VMS-type sulphide deposit with historic mining and geophysical work
  • Minor historic mining at reported grade of 1.43% Cu, and exploration/geophysics in several periods throughout the 1900s
  • Estimated mine dump volume of 800 m3 with 15 collected samples averaging 1.86% Cu and 1.45% Zn (highest-grade sample above Cu detection limit)

GRESSLIGRUVA PROJECT

  • 10 km west of the small town of Ås in Central Norway and adjacent to the Fv705 trunk road linking the Trondheim and Røros districts
  • Sulfide deposit of apparent VMS type
  • Mined for 24 years in 3 periods 1792-1868, tonnages and grades unknown
  • Minor exploration 1916-1985 including drilling indicates a deposit of 78 kt at 0.9% Cu and 5.5% Zn, but exploration is limited
