Prospech (ASX:PRS), an Australian mineral exploration company, has announced impressive assay results from its ongoing exploration at the historic Korsnäs site in Finland. The results come from 260 samples derived from 22 historical drill holes, revealing significant intersections of high-grade rare earth elements.
Prospech Limited has leveraged access to a comprehensive dataset through its partnership with the Geologic Survey of Finland, allowing it to explore the Korsnäs site with significantly reduced costs. The assay results validate historical data and confirm the presence of substantial rare earth element zones, setting the stage for a future JORC-compliant resource estimate. Prospech aims to contribute to meeting Europe's growing demand for critical minerals, aligning its exploration strategy with industry trends towards sustainable and locally sourced mineral production. The company plans to continue its exploration and commence metallurgical test work, reinforcing its ambition to be a key player in Europe's mineral market.
The results have set a strong foundation for a future JORC-compliant resource estimate, with further assay results pending. Prospech's exploration efforts at Korsnäs focus on a series of layered carbonatite zones that span over five kilometers, offering significant potential for REE extraction.
