Pure Resources Limited (ASX: PR1) has applied for two Exploration Claims totalling 252sq. km of highly prospective ground in central Sweden.
The company applied for the Järkvissle nr 100 and Bergby nr 100 Reservations following a global review for future facing metal exploration opportunities.
Pure’s March 2022 prospectus outlined the company’s use of funds under which it had allocated A$400,000 for project generative activities.
“Scandinavia was identified as an area where we believe there will be significant growth in the battery metals sector with favourable geopolitical and geological conditions. As such, we have been reviewing a number of opportunities in Scandinavia and the application of the two exploration claims in Sweden is another great step forward in building an excellent, and global, battery metals portfolio,” Executive Chairman, Patric Glovac, said.
“These claims are highly prospective for Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum pegmatite deposits, one sits either adjacent to a known lithium deposit and the other within 10km of Sweden’s latest high-grade lithium spodumene discovery.
“The project generation team have been working around the clock with their Swedish counterparts and have again done an excellent job to secure the highly prospective claims. “We are looking forward to completing boots-on-ground exploration over the coming months.”
The Sweden Exploration Claims
PR1 Europe Pty Ltd has applied for two Exploration Claims in central Sweden. The two Claims cover an area of ~252sq. km and are considered highly prospective for Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite deposits.
Bergby nr 100
The Bergby claims (174sq. km) is a wholly-owned, district-scale, hard rock lithium project near the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia in central Sweden, with a project area interpreted to be prospective for LCT granitic pegmatites. The Bergby claims are adjacent to United Lithium Corp’s Bergby Lithium Project.
Bergby is a newly discovered lithium deposit in central Sweden. Bergby is located approximately 180km north of Stockholm, in the world-famous mining district of Bergslagen, where mining dates back to the Viking age. The first spodumene mineralized boulders were discovered in 2007, mineralized out crops were identified a few years later.
It is an area rich in pegmatites mineralized with spodumene, beryl, pollucite and tourmaline and belong to the LCT type pegmatite. Bergby is a small town, beside the lithium deposit, which have given the deposit area its name.
The Järkvissle claims (78sq. km) are situated in the Västernorrland region, 65km Northwest of Swedish East Coast town of Sundsvall, a region which hosts the country’s largest Lithium deposits.
The claims lay are adjacent to and along strike Sweden’s most advanced Lithium deposit, the Järkvissle Pegmatite Sites owned by Asera Mining AB, and target a high magnetic unit interpreted to be a band of mafic/ultramafic derived amphibolite that is host rock to potential LCT Pegmatites.
The company is currently negotiating the purchase of available drillhole, geochemical and geophysical data relevant to the two claim areas as part of its ongoing data review process. Following completion of the data review, Pure intends to undertake mapping and sampling programs through the northern summer.
