Historic copper mining district with over 50 documented mines dating back to 1760.
Major copper ore discovered at Gruvfjellet plateau. This marked the beginning of organized mining in the upper Ogndalen area, establishing a tradition that would span over 130 years.
Gaulstad No. 1 mine in full operation from 1764, followed by Mokk No. 1 'Blankstøiten'. Three major mining phases: 1764-1786 (copper), 1830-1850 (expansion), and 1880-1891 (nickel targeting).
Pure Minerals acquired 11 mining licenses covering approximately 110 km² in the Gaulstad-Mokk area. Initial exploration of Gaulstad and Mokk mine entrances at Gruvfjellet began.
Sunnfjord Geo Center AS and GeoVista AB executed high-performance geological mapping combined with evaluation of existing geophysical data. Comprehensive XRF analysis conducted.
XRF analysis confirmed exceptional grades: 7.95% Cu, 1.24% Zn, 12.45 ppm Ag, 840 ppm Co. Over 70 elements analyzed across the license area.
Further geological and geophysical exploration planned based on 2023 survey results. Focus on deeper mineralization and extension of known ore bodies.
