Husvika lead-silver project

Lead, Silver, Zinc 49 km2 Under non-binding LOI · 90% to be contributed

Skarn-style Zn-Pb-Ag project of roughly 48.5 km² in Northern Norway.

Husvika Project

Located in the Nordland region of Northern Norway, the Husvika Project consists of seven (7) licence claims (covering a total area of 48,5 km2), and benefits from exceptional infrastructure, including the Husvika port. Historic mining and modern exploration data, including rock chip sampling1 undertaken by the Norwegian Geological Survey (”NGU”), indicate the potential for high-grade polymetallic skarn-type mineralization with strong silver enrichment and district-scale exploration potential (see Figure 1).

At the centre of the project lies the historic Husvika zinc-lead-silver (”Zn-Pb-Ag”) deposit, where previous mining campaigns between 1897 and 1951 reported extraction of an estimated 8,000 tonnes of ore from several high-grade lenses distributed along a 1.5 km mineralized trend (Torgersen, 1928). Mineralization occurs within broadly N-S-trending skarn-hosted sulphide systems containing sphalerite, galena and silver and with a cumulative strike length exceeding 5 km (Birkeland & Bjørlykke, 1993). The broader Husvika district hosts numerous historic workings, including the Hilda Mine, Nordre Sivertsen, Søndre Sivertsen, Lille Hatten, and several satellite occurrences distributed along the mineralized corridor.

This widespread mineralization demonstrates possible continuity and scale of the system throughout the project area. Importantly, historical geophysical surveys identified conductive anomalies at depth beneath the southern part of the project area, suggesting the potential for mineralization extensions below historically mined levels (NGU Report BV4058, 1974).  Historical exploration also identified multiple gold anomalies in stream sediment surveys proximal to the main Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization, highlighting the potential for additional precious metal enrichment within the district (BP Minerals, 1984).
