VANCOUVER, BC,
Jan. 25, 2022
/CNW/ - Norra Metals Corp. ("Norra" or the
"Company") (TSXV: NORA) (Frankfurt:1KO) (OTC: NRRMF) is
pleased to announce that the company has completed the historical
data compilation and integration into GIS software from the
Bleikvassli (including Bleikvassli mine) and Meråker
properties.
The completion of the compilation and data integration from both
Bleikvassli and Meråker properties in Norway, has resulted in a vast amount of data
available to be used in future drill target definition.
Bleikvassli property
The historical regional
exploration data compiled and integrated by Norra, consists of NGU
(Norwegian Geological Survey) regional broad soil geochemistry that
locally turns to closer sample spacing, such as in Brunnesbekken,
Rapliasen and Harvarddalen. The first two areas and Kongsfjellet
were previously drilled and that data was also integrated into
Norra's database.
Several historical ground geophysical techniques such as
electromagnetics (Mise-la-mase; Spontaneous potential, Slingram,
VLF), magnetic and gravity surveys done before late 90's, are also
present, compiled and integrated in GIS software. The 1993 NGU
regional airborne geophysical (radiometric and magnetometry and
resistivity) survey data that covers the entire property was
reprocessed by modern techniques and more advanced computer
software.
Some surface rock/mineralization samples previously collected
were scattered around the property, mainly in the Kongsfiellet and
Bleikvassli mine areas, are also in database with geochemical
assays available.
Bleikvassli mine
The vast records of the mine are
stored in a room at the mine site and constitute a valuable source
for gathering valuable information of all types. The geological
data recently compiled from the Bleikvassli mine constitute a major
improvement to the previous geological model as it has become
more robust with insertion of over three hundred additional drill
holes (now totaling 1080 from the original 747) with a significant
increase of available Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag assay data, lithology, mineralogy
and structural measurements. Also included are underground
development (tunnels and shafts), mining panels and past exploited
ore wireframe. Several other layers of information such as
topography and anthropic features are also included in GIS
database. The geophysical data corresponding to historical near
mine exploration surveys, both to the south and north of the mine,
are also compiled and they correspond to ground surveys such as
TFEM, VLF, Slingram.
Meråker property
The highly prospective area of
Meråker property, encompasses 5 small base metals mines (Mannfjeld;
Fonnfjell; Øytro; Gilsa and Dronningens) and 2 medium size
(Thorsbjörk and Lillefjeld) with Øytro also strongly anomalous in
gold, closed in the first half of 20th century. Some of
these areas haven't been explored since 90's of last century.
Norra has compiled all the geological information available in
the NGU on-line data repository for the property, with the aim
of target definition for a systematic exploration program using
modern techniques. The data compiled consists of geochemistry of
rocks and visible mineralization from surface, soils and stream
sediment sampling, at a certain point constrained to the areas
mentioned before and limited in size.
Several NGU regional geophysical data, including radiometric,
magnetic electromagnetic surveys, both ground and airborne, is also
compiled and integrated in GIS software. Most of these surveys were
done before 90's of last century revealing some inconsistencies. To
resolve some of these problems, the data from the regional airborne
survey was recently reprocessed with modern software and is
included in the database.
Mr. Paulo Nuno de Sá Caessa, EURGeol., VP Exploration,
stated, "After this exhaustive compilation and study of all
historical data we feel very confident to outline our future
exploration program based on robust target definition. We feel very
enthusiastic from the data studied. It corroborates the properties
of Bleikvassli and Meraker as highly prospective for base metals
and gold."
