Exceptional zinc, lead, silver and gold deposits with proven high-grade mineralization dating back to 1886.
Test mining began at Skrattås, marking the start of organized mineral extraction in the area. Multiple owners conducted exploration over the following decades.
Constant production registered during this period, establishing Skrattås as a viable commercial mining operation.
High-grade ore extraction reached exceptional levels with 5,000 tons at 34% Zn, 10.4% Pb, and 1.9% Cu. Underground operations terminated at 80m depth.
Pure Minerals secured 7 exploration licenses covering ~30 km² in the Skrattås-Byafossen area. Modern exploration program initiated.
Comprehensive geological mapping with Sunnfjord Geo Center AS and GeoVista AB. XRF analysis confirmed exceptional grades: 28.8% Zn, 9% Pb, 539 ppm Ag, 10 ppm Au.
Follow-up TEM survey and deep drilling strategy implementation planned. Mineralization continues below 80m depth with significant untapped potential.
