Although multiple historic mines are present in the area, only limited historical drilling has occurred, most of which were drilled over 100 years ago. Many prospects and mining areas remain untested. The most recent work conducted in the district occurred in 2006 when Xstrata PLC (\"Xstrata\") flew airborne geophysical surveys and identified five prioritized nickel-copper targets and 11 VMS targets for further exploration and drill testing. However, the follow-up exploration work was never completed. No modern exploration has been conducted during the last two decades.\n \n \n The initial exploration program consists of the compilation of historical data, re-interpretation of Xstrata EM data, systematic mapping and sampling along the know mineralization trends. The program's objective is to define and delineate areas for drill testing.\n \n \n \n \n \n Sulitjelma VMS Project,\n \n Norway\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sulitjelma was one of the largest operating base metal mines in\n \n Norway\n \n . VMS style mineralization occurs along a trend that extends over 20 kilometers and is developed along multiple stratigraphic horizons and structurally repeated sections. Metamorphism and deformation have caused the area's thickening and repetition of mineralized horizons. The district produced over 25 million tonnes, averaging 1.84% copper, 0.86% zinc, 10 g/t silver and 0.25 g/t gold. Significant h...
