RYBERG PROJECT, GREENLAND (100% CONICO)
The Ryberg Project (figure 1) covers 4,521km2 on the east coast of Greenland, and is 575km northwest of the staging point in Reykjavik, Iceland. It contains magmatic sulphide mineralisation (the Miki Prospect) and orogenic gold (the Sortekap Prospect).
Key contracts were signed in the quarter and Longland CEO Thomas Abraham-James has been based in Iceland to personally meet with service providers and inspect equipment.

Field activities will commence at Ryberg in June 2021, with diamond drill rigs and aeromagnetic survey equipment mobilising via ship from the Company´s staging location in Reykjavik, Iceland. Personnel will be accommodated on board a vessel for the duration of the season which is anticipated to be complete at the end of September.
The drill targets are:
-
The Miki Prospect (magmatic sulphides, Cu-Ni-Co-Pd-Au)
-
» 2 x electromagnetic (EM) surveys conducted in 2017 and 2020 have independently identified the presence of conductors that are interpreted to represent sulphide accumulation at the base of a magma conduit. All of these will be drilled in 2021.
-
The Sortekap Prospect (orogenic Au & magmatic sulphides Ni-Co-Pt)
-
» An induced polarisation (IP) survey conducted in 2020 has highlighted a significant anomaly (figure 3) interpreted to be sulphides along an intrusion associated with a significant geological structure (fault/shear). Previous work has identified gold and nickel sulphides at surface, both within close proximity of the IP anomaly. The IP anomaly will be drilled in multiple locations in 2021.

The licence area will also be flown with the first regional magnetic dataset, flown at high resolution commencing in July of this year.

The Mestersvig Project (figure 4) is located on the east coast of Greenland and is 600km northwest of Iceland. It contains base and precious metal bearing sulphides, rare earth element (REE) mineralisation and the historic Blyklippen Mine (past production of 545,000 tons of ore @ 9.3% Pb and 9.9% Zn between 1956-1962).
The licence area has been increased by an additional 1,198km2 to give a new total project area of 1,447km2. The significant increase was actioned after findings from the 2020 field season highlighted the potential of the Werner Bjerge Alkaline Complex, a series of intrusions that contain rare earth element (REE) and magmatic sulphide mineralisation.
Field activities in 2021 will commence in May with Company personnel travelling to site to sample and map the REE and magmatic sulphide mineralisation. The program will focus on known occurrences identified by previous explorers in the 1950´s and 1970´s, with no follow up work conducted since.
The entire Mestersvig Project will then be flown by high-resolution aeromagnetic survey, most likely commencing in August (after completion of the same survey at the Ryberg Project).

The Mt Thirsty Cobalt Project (figure 5) is located 16km north-northwest of Norseman, Western Australia. It contains the Mt Thirsty Cobalt-Nickel (Co-Ni) Oxide Deposit which had a prefeasibility study completed in February 2020 (refer ASX Announcement 20 February 2020) and has the potential to emerge as a significant cobalt producer.
Work continued during the quarter including reviewing development options for the project and the re-commissioning of the Mt Thirsty Project website in conjunction with Barra Resources Ltd (ASX: BAR ) and Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL ) due to increased investor interest in cobalt (figure 6) and Nickel (figure 6) given the recent rise in metal prices over late CY 2021.
