(TSXV: PLY) (FSE: P1J1) (OTC: PLYFF) has acquired additional mineral rights and now owns 100% of a continuous 40 km long highly prospective trend characterized by historic mines, numerous mineral showings, favorable geology, geophysical anomalies, Windfall Geotek CARDS targets and high MMI geochemical responses.RKV Project, NorwayTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/7302/60934_dcf44a4554ce69f9_002full.jpgThis year's fieldwork started on July 23, 2020 and is making good progress. Fourteen locations, where a total of 33 MMI soil samples taken in 2019 gave values of more than 50 times background in one or more of copper, cobalt, or nickel, are being covered by detailed MMI sampling.At the Storboren Copper Anomaly, where some of the highest MMI copper values ever recorded in a soil were found (maximum value 53,300 ppb MMI Cu), a series of \"base of till\" auger samples has already been completed.Windfall Geotek is evaluating the newly acquired property using its proprietary CARDS platform.Playfair believes that the powerful combination of CARDS AI and MMI geochemistry at RKV has proved exceptionally efficient in discovering new strong targets in an area which has been explored for almost 400 years.Playfair Mining has now, based on exploration results, twice increased the size of its 100% owned land package at the RKV property in south-central Norway. This large copper-cobalt-nickel project now encompasses 344 square kilometers in a historic mining area about 100 km south of Trondheim by road. Two historic copper mines, Kvikne and Rostvangen, a drilled nickel-copper deposit, Vakkerlien, over 20 known mineral occurrences mapped and sampled by the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) and an extensive digital database formed the initial impetus for exploration in the area.Geologically the zone contains quartz mica pelitic schist, amphibolite, stratiform pyrite-pyrrhotite iron formation, and graphitic sediment. These rock types give rise to numerous, laterally continuous strong electromagnetic anomalies, typically 1 to 4 km long associated with high magnetic anomalies.2019 Playfair ExplorationTo pr...
