The Gyttorp nr 100 Project has a highly prospective tenure package covering 115 km2<\/sup> of prospective Rare Earth Element (REE<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exploration tenure is located near Gyttorp in the Bergslagen district of Sweden, 180 km west of Stockholm. Sweden is the home of Europe\u2019s largest REE discovery in the Kiruna area. The Project is located on the southern end of a belt of iron and REE-enriched skarns, more than 100 kilometre long, known locally as the \u201cREE-line\u201d hosting Bastn\u00e4s type REE mineralisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Various studies by the Swedish Geological Survey and Universities confirmed that iron skarns with REE mineralisation also contain zones of high-grade copper and other elements, such as elevated concentrations of rare metals Gallium and Germanium. These are niche elements with a variety of high-tech uses. Detailed metallurgical evaluation would be required to confirm they could be economically extracted as a by-product from this style of mineralisation. Importantly, these elements are currently subject to an export ban by China.<\/p>\n\n\n
