RYBERG MINERALISATION - Magmatic Sulphides (Miki Prospect)
==> picture [371 x 533] intentionally omitted <==
Mineralisation: Magmatic sulphides, surface samples grade up to:
- 2.2% copper, 0.8% nickel, 0.1% cobalt, 3.3g/t palladium & 0.2g/t gold
Sulphides: Disseminated interstitial blebs and rounded globules up to ~20cm in diameter including pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite, with palladium and gold minerals
“Globules interpreted to have formed from fractionation of trapped droplets of an immiscible copper and palladium-rich sulphide melt”
Sulphide Droplets: Up to ~20cm diameter - unlikely to survive extensive transport at high flow rates - indicators of proximity to a reworked larger sulphide pool

Mineralisation: Mineralisation is classified as orogenic style, quartz vein hosted. Surface rock-chip samples grade up to 2.7g/t.
Minerals: Gold is associated with sulphides and is present as native gold and gold-rich electrum.
“Represents the first recorded occurrence of gold mineralisation in the metamorphosed basement rocks of east Greenland”
Host geology: Mineralised veins occur in sheared supra-crustal units hosted by garnet-bearing amphibolite.

MESTERSVIG HISTORIC MINE
==> picture [65 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
A total of 545,000 tons of ore @ 9.3% Pb and 9.9% Zn was produced between 1956 and 1962 • Today this would have a value of ~USD$185M
Underground mining operation of sediment hosted Pb-Zn ore, the historic mine was named ‘Blyklippen’.
Fault-controlled epithermal lead-zinc veins are abundant over some 165 km² in the Mestersvig area.
The mined-out sulphide lens was 2-10m thick, 300m long and 160 m high. It consisted of 65% quartz, 15% sphalerite, 10% galena, 5-10% baryte with trace amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite

MESTERSVIG GEOLOGY
==> picture [65 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

Local geology is dominated by Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic sediments intruded by Palaeogene dolerite sills and dykes
Towards the south, the area is bordered by the Palaeogene Werner Bjerge alkaline complex, in the west, it is bordered by a major regional fault beyond which is the Caledonian fold belt
A 15-20 km-long, anticlinal fold structure occurs along Mestersvig and Deltadal. Faulting is widespread with the Mestersvig Graben as the most conspicuous structure

MESTERSVIG WORK CONDUCTED 2020
The licence was previously held by Ironbark Zinc Ltd and initially investigated by Nordisk Mineselskab A/S.
15 drill-holes at the Sortebjerg Prospect have identified mineralisation near identical to that at the Mestersvig historic mine, and is aligned along strike. The best drill intersect to date at Sortebjerg is 5.17m @ 18.55% Zn+Pb from 40.0m drilled depth.
There has been no exploratory drilling in-between, a total strike length of 13km.

Geologist with a PhD from the University of Lisbon, Portugal and has over 20 years’ experience researching the geology and genesis of sulphide mineralisation in hydrothermal systems. Filipa’s research has taken her to Antarctica, the Azores, and a particular focus on the North Atlantic including Iceland. At the University of Bergen’s Department of Earth Science, Filipa held the position of Associate Professor. Filipa has also consulted to industry, assisting Nautilus Minerals, First Quantum Minerals, and collaborating with the CSIRO.
Dr David Holwell
Technical Advisor - Greenland PhD, MSc, MCSM, BSc(Hons), FSEG, FHEA
Dr Dave Holwell is an economic geologist with expertise in magmatic and hydrothermal precious and base metal ore deposits. In particular, he involved with developing efficient exploration models by utilising a range of research, field and analytical techniques. He has over a decade of experience in magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation, publishing over 35 papers on the subject and has several years’ experience as an exploration geologist and consultant. In recent years, he has been involved in a number of projects that apply a Minerals Systems Approach to the exploration for magmatic ore deposits.
