Geological Context
The Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) reports: “The Rødalen deposit was mined in the period between 1750 to 1810, with further exploration until 1918. About 40,000 tonnes of copper-rich ore was produced. The deposit is hosted by quartzite and thin horizons of amphibolite in generally calcareous biotite mica schist of the Gula group. The mineralization is totally covered by waste, but old reports describe the ore as 1-2 m wide ore zones rich in chalcopyrite and zones of massive pyrite and pyrrhotite.” NGU further reports that samples taken from the dump by NGU geologists contained up to 1.81% copper and 0.96 gpt gold
Simran Kamboj, President and CTO of Windfall Geotek commented: “It is fantastic to see our client Playfair Mining making progress following a methodical work flow on our priority targets. This is an important milestone to further follow up on key areas on the project. Identifying drill targets is always a collaborative effort; we’re happy to have played a key role in this process. We wish the Playfair Mining team best of luck and we can’t wait to hear about the outcome of this drilling program.”
Don Moore, CEO of Playfair Mining added: “It’s a long and winding road to discovery. After over two years of methodical exploration using modern methods such as Windfall Geotek AI in an almost 400-year-old under-explored mining district Playfair has defined seven high priority drill targets in five areas. We have now started our drill program to test these compelling targets from Windfall Geotek Inc.”
