Golden Rim Resources (ASX: GMR) has identified new copper-gold-zinc targets from a gravity survey along strike from the Falun Mine, part of the Falun project JV, in Sweden.
Importantly, the new targets provide Golden Rim with near mine exploration.
Falun has been a very strong polymetallic deposit, with past production estimated around ; 35 million tonnes at 1-3% copper, 3-6% zinc and 0.5-3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold.
Adding to the prospectivity of the area known as the Bergslagen district, which contains Falun, there are a number of other high quality mines.
These include Garpenberg; 60 million tonnes at 5% zinc, 2% lead, 0.1% copper, 100g/t silver and 0.3g/t gold, and Zinkgruvan; 55 million tonnes at 11% zinc, 1.5% lead and 94g/t silver.
The Falun Project is located 200 kilometres north-west of Stockholm, and is part of the Bergslagen JV between Golden Rim’s Abu-Dhabi based alliance company, Royal Falcon Mining LLC and Drake Resources (ASX: DRK).
The Falun project comprises six licences covering 101 square kilometres around the historic mining centre of Falun.
