VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - Norra Metals Corp.
("Norra" or the "Company") (TSXV: NORA) (Frankfurt: 1KO) (OTC: NRRMF) is pleased to
announce that the company has defined 11 high-priority targets for
base metals and accessory gold, resultant from the previous
historical data compilation and integration.
The target definition and selection were mainly based on the
available geochemical data from the Mineral Database of NGU
(Geological Survey of Norway),
past campaigns of exploration done in 1998 and 2001, regional NGU
exploration programs consisting of both geochemical and geophysical
surveys and field inspection. The sampling done previously over all
areas including old mine wastes, pits, dumps and outcropping
bedrock and the results obtained, allowed Norra to outline 11
high-priority targets which showed significant grades of base
metals, gold and silver including these highlights:
Lillefjell: bedrock and dumps show grades up to 8.01% Cu;
17.55% Zn; 2542 ppb Au; 34.4 g/t Ag. and
Ebba-Vaeråsvollen: bedrock samples show grades of up
to 12.39% Cu; 25.91% Zn; 561 g/t Co and up to 1396 ppb
Au; 472 g/t Ag. (see Figure 1. for location map and
indication of the most significant sample results and historical
mine production.) The future exploration field campaign will be
based on this target definition. For a more complete list and
target description, please visit www.norrametals.com where you

shareholder updates.
Meråker property
The Meråker property is located in
central Norway within the historic
Røros mining district, one of the most prolific mining districts of
Norway, exploited since middle of
the 17th century to the end of 20th century with mainly
copper-zinc mineralization. Most of the area has not been explored
for decades therefore no modern exploration tools were applied on
the property. The area is well served by excellent infrastructure
such as railroads, deep water port (Trondheim), highways and
several well paved roads to provide access to the property, power
lines crossing through the area and 6 smelters in the
region. The Norwegian mineral industry shall be among the
world's most environmentally friendly and shall actively seek
future-oriented solutions. The Company cautions that it is not
aware of the key assumptions, parameters or methods, including data
verification techniques used by the NGU to prepare these historic
estimates and has not performed sufficient work to verify these
published samples numbers and therefore is not treating the
historical estimates as current.
Complete tables of historic sample results can be viewed on
Norra's website here.
Targets Description:
- Lillefjell: (1.72 Km2):
This target is defined by several pits and an old copper mine. The
length from the edge of the prospects is 800m. Sampling the bedrock and dumps show grades
up to: 8.01% Cu; 17.55% Zn; 2542 ppb Au; 34.4 g/t Ag. Cobalt
is also anomalous, up to 410 ppm Co.
- Mannfjell: (2.90 Km2):
Mannfjell target includes two small pits and an underground zinc
mine. Mannfjell sampling data from bedrock and dumps show grades up
to 4.01% Cu; >10% Zn and up to 3745 ppb Au; 157.2 g/t
Ag.
- Fonnfjell: (6.22 Km2):
Fonnfjell target consists of a cluster of five old Cu-Zn mines and
three prospects. The mine productions are reported in (Figure 1).
The NGU bedrock sampling reveals grades up to 5.57% Cu; up
to 10% Zn, up to 2135 ppb Au and 117 g/t Ag at Øytrø
that is the most anomalous gold mineralization besides Lovlibekk,
on the property.
- Gilså: (0.82 Km2):
Gilså target corresponds to an old underground mine of massive
sulphides. The bedrock sampling shows grades up to 8.5% Cu; and
up to 7.49% Zn, but systematically above 2.79% Zn. Some samples
are anomalous in gold that can reach to 536 ppb Au and 30.3 g/t
Ag.
- Dronningen: (1.08 Km2):
Dronningen target includes three prospects, a small open pit and an
underground copper mine. The bedrock and pit sampling of the
mineralization shows grades up to 8.87% Cu; 0.62% Zn;
285 ppb Au and 17.7 g/t Ag.
- Ebba-Vaeråsvollen: (4.56 Km2):
Ebba-Vaeråsvollen target covers an extensive area with eight
mineral prospects aligned along 3.1 Km. The bedrock samples show
grades up to 12.39% Cu; 25.91% Zn; 561 g/t Co and up to
1396 ppb Au; 472 g/t Ag.
- Langsundgruva: (3.03 Km2):
Langsundgruva target is defined by four prospects and an
underground semi-massive sulphides mine. Sampling of bedrock and
dumps reveal grades up to 6.30% Cu; 19.28% Zn; 24.4 g/t
Ag and 229 g/t Co.
- Torsbjørk: (0.67 Km2):
This target consists of an underground Zn-Cu mine with semi-massive
sulphides. The bedrock samples taken, show grades of up to 6.60%
Cu; 2.58% Zn; 30.9 g/t Ag and 292 g/t Co.
- Krogstadåa: (1.38 Km2):
This target includes two prospects, approximately 1,250m from apart. Some limited bedrock sampling
show grades up to 5.01% Cu; >10% Zn and up to 24.3 g/t
Ag; 336ppb Au.
- Svartåtjern: (0.78 Km2):
The target of Svartåtjern consists of several mineralization
occurrences in a pit suggesting previous mining. The assays at from
bedrock and dumps shows up to 3.77% Cu; 0.12% Zn; 30 g/t Ag and
467 ppb Au.
- Bjørnbeken: (0.24 Km2):
Bjørnbeken target corresponds to a copper occurrence without
assessment or evaluation.
Mr. Paulo Nuno de Sá Caessa, EurGeol., VP Exploration,
stated, "We stay very optimistic with target selection as the
surprisingly large amount of high-grade production mines as well as
the pits, dumps and bedrock assays for zinc ± copper ± lead ±
silver ± gold reveals the entire property as being highly
prospective. Moreover, the lack of systematic exploration for the
past decades opens the potential of new discoveries using modern
techniques of geological exploration".
