Bluelake Mineral has successfully concluded a drilling programme at one of its four key mineral deposits located in Gjersvik, Norway. The drilling, conducted by NORSE Diamond Drilling, took place between August 4 and September 27, 2026, covering a total of 2,042 metres across 33 drill holes. The average length of the drill holes was approximately 62 metres, with a median length of about 53 metres. Notably, the two longest holes reached depths of 249 and 155 metres, while the shortest were 22 and 29 metres.
The drilling programme has focused on the primary areas identified by the company for further evaluation of the deposit’s geometry, mineralisation, and potential for future extraction. Due to challenging terrain conditions, much of the drilling was supported by helicopter operations. A total of 29 drill holes were established through helicopter lifts conducted by Arctic Air AB, while four holes were drilled using a tracked drilling rig. In certain parts of the area, the slope of the terrain reaches approximately 20–30 degrees, necessitating the construction of four temporary drilling platforms to facilitate safe and efficient drilling.
Core samples have been continuously logged, sampled, and sent for analysis throughout the drilling programme, with the company’s geologists collaborating with Avannaa Exploration Services AB. Samples from the drill cores have been dispatched to ALS for laboratory analysis. The company plans to release the results of these analyses as soon as they are compiled and quality assured, providing valuable insights into the mineral potential of the Gjersvik site.
