Burfjord

Located in northwestern Norway, about 100 kilometers southwest of the Nussir Copper project, Burfjord hosts more than thirty historic mines and prospects with outcropping copper and gold mineralization. Base metals were the focus of previous work, but gold mineralization was documented by the Norwegian Geological Survey in the mid-1990’s, and has not been followed up. Host rocks are metavolcanics, and mineralization is present as both stratabound and vein occurrences.

The geology of Burfjord is highly favorable for the development of gold and gold-copper deposits, with tectonically deformed and dismembered mafic metavolcanic rocks hosting quartz ± calcite, albite and actinolite veins, vein networks, hydrothermal breccias, and lenses of disseminated sulfide (pyrite-chalcopyrite ± pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite) mineralization. 

Only limited exploration has taken place at Burfjord in the modern era and before Norden Crown’s recent reconnaissance drill program only one prospect area had been drill tested. The best historical drill intercept consists of seven meters @ 3.6% copper, and was obtained from the Cedarsgruve (mine) area in the northern portion of the claim block. The discovery of the 32 meter wide zone with grades of 0.56% copper and 0.26 g/t gold at the Gamlegruve workings in the southern part of the property confirm the broad style of mineralization observed in the widespread artisanal workings. (See Norden Crown News release dated March 20, 2019 for more details) 

*Nearby mines and deposits provide context for the project, but do not necessarily indicate similar size, styles or grade of mineralization within the project.

The samples are reported by Norden Crown Metals. EMX has not performed sufficient work to verify the published assay data reported above, and these data cannot be verified as being compliant with NI43-101 standards.
