NordX Metals Corp. Confirms Uranium Mineralisation Across Three Swedish Projects With Initial Outcrop And Boulder Sampling
NordX Metals Corp. has announced the first assay results from the Norr Döttern, Märrviken and Flistjärn field reconnaissance and chip rock sampling programs. The results confirm high potential for uranium over the Company's three 100%-owned projects, as well as the potential for Au-base metal mineralisation in Märrviken. Surface Sampling Program Highlights: Norr Döttern Property: High-Grade Uranium (U3O8) identified with values up to 0.27% U3O8; program confirms mineralisation in areas rich with historical exploration data suggesting new target areas for systematic follow-up. Märrviken Property: Highly anomalous Gold (Au), Zinc (Zn) and uranium results including assay results of 2.87 g/t Au, 37.7% Zn, and 682 ppm U3O8. High-grade zinc values confirm polymetallic potential alongside the uranium mineralisation. Flistjärn Property: In situ rock chip sampling showed anomalous uranium values up to 442ppm U3O8; tested a parallel zone to the existing mineralised structure. A total of 22 samples were collected in the Norr Döttern project area and sent to ALS Global laboratories for assay. The assay results for nine of the samples are still pending. The average grade of the thirteen analysed samples is 687 ppm U3O8 and ranged from a low of 6.5 ppm U3O8 to a high of 2735.7 ppm U3O8. The three best samples and their uranium grades are: M318460: 2,735.7 ppm U3O8, M318461: 2,128.5 ppm U3O8, M318458: 1,928.0 ppm U3O8. In addition, one sample returned anomalous Ag and Zn (M318456: 603.8 ppm U3O8, 64 ppm Ag, 1,500 ppm Zn). The Norr Döttern licence, in Norrbotten County, covers an 8 km NE-SW structural corridor previously explored by state-owned companies SGU and SGAB between 1971-1985, when 35 diamond holes were drilled across three of five historically identified prospect areas. Drilling intercepted up to 11.9m grading 0.1% U3O8 from 18.6m downhole at Långträsk (LG), open in all directions, and 4m at 0.19% U3O8 from 66m downhole at Norr Döttern 1 (ND1). The central prospects, and the source of a nearby boulder train that returned higher grades than the drilling, have never been drilled. The Norr Döttern 2 – Liessetjåkke (ND2-LS) prospect hosts the licence area's largest boulder trains, including an unverified historical trench report of 3% U over 3m. This undrilled area is the focus of a Third Quarter 2026 mapping and scintillometer-guided chip sampling campaign, aimed at defining drill targets for a Fourth Quarter 2026 - First Quarter 2027 winter drilling program. Märrviken Project: A total of 15 samples were collected in the Märrviken project area and sent to ALS Global laboratories for assay. Out of eight collected samples, results varied from a low of 1.9ppm U3O8 to a high of 681ppm U3O8, with the average being 398ppm U3O8. Out of seven collected samples the average grade for Zn in sulphide-hosted mineralization is 0.97%; results varied from a low of 50ppm Zn to a high of 37,799ppm (3.7% Zn). The best samples and their relevant results are: MA012: 681.6ppm U3O8, MA013: 544.8ppm U3O8, MA011: 443.4ppm U3O8, MA005: 37.7% Zn, 160ppm Cu and 0.02ppm Au, MA004: 33.5% Zn, 470ppm Cu and 0.07ppm Au, MA003: 2.87 ppm Au, 0.21% Cu and 0.06% Zn. The Märrviken licence, in Västernorrlands and Jämtlands Counties, overlies the Storsjön-Edsbyn Deformation Zone and hosts both structurally controlled uranium mineralization and sulphide-hosted Au-Ag-Cu-Zn-Pb mineralization (the Storkullen Prospect). SGU discovered a 2,000×400m train of 766 mineralised boulders here in the 1970s, some carrying percent-grade uranium, and drilled 11 holes in 1979-1980 that intersected low-to-medium-grade uranium mineralization. Historical drilling of the massive sulphide occurrence also intersected high-grade zinc-lead-silver mineralization and anomalous gold. Flistjärn Project: A total of 8 samples were collected from outcrops in the Flistjärn project area and sent to ALS Global laboratories for assay. One mineralized sample returned with 442.2ppm U3O8, and five samples show anomalous U3O8 content between 10 and 84ppm. The objective of this program was to test the prospectivity of a NE-striking fault that runs parallel to the interpreted zone of mineralisation in this area previously defined by Mawson in the mid-2000s, through rock chip sampling. Mawson also undertook a radon cup survey at Flistjärn during the same period and had eventual plans to drill that never occurred despite the positive results obtained from the survey. U3O8 results obtained from this small sampling program ranged from a low of 5.0 to a high of 442.2ppm for an average of 90.9ppm U3O8. The Flistjärn Project is an approved exploration licence located in Jämtland County, Sweden, situated in a 20km-long corridor in the Olden tectonic window that is anomalous in uranium. The mineralization is considered to be granite related and structurally controlled. Historical exploration by SGU (1976-1985) and Mawson Resources (2005-2011) mapped the U anomalous corridor. The historically documented uranium occurrences/anomalies have never been drilled. Boulder and outcrop samples were collected by manual rock chip sampling, typical of early-stage prospecting. Boulder sample values do not establish in-situ mineralization, as they are transported glacial till indicating a potential bedrock source proximal in the up-ice direction. Samples were logged, photographed, sealed, and shipped under chain-of-custody protocols to ALS Laboratories. At ALS, samples were dried, crushed, and pulverised to industry-standard specifications before multielement analysis (ME-MS89L, ME-MS61, ME-ICPORE, Au-AA25 methods), with the method selected by mineralization type, host-rock matrix, and target commodities. ALS is an internationally recognized ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory relied upon by mining and mineral exploration companies worldwide.
