Playfair Mining (TSXV:PLY) has begun a diamond drilling program on its RKV Copper Project in South Central Norway.

The Vancouver exploration company owns a 100-per-cent interest in the project, which covers 201 square kilometres.

The Rødalen high copper Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) anomaly is the first of seven drill targets delineated by in five areas on the property.

The Rødalen drill target is less than 350 metres east of the former Rødalen Mine. The large anomaly is open to the North and extends over an area 300 metres long by up to 100 metres wide.

Drill Notifications have been made and approved for 38 initial drillholes and up to 122 additional holes dependent on results.

All seven drill targets show compelling coherent MMI copper anomalies with multiple MMI copper values greater than 6,000 parts per billion (ppb). The highest value recorded was 53,300 ppb MMI copper.

Playfair is using a lightweight drilling machine which can be disassembled and hand-carried to the drill sites, as part of the company’s efforts to minimize the impact of its exploration on the natural environment.

“It’s a long and winding road to discovery. After over two years of methodical exploration using modern methods in an almost 400-year-old under-explored mining district Playfair has defined seven high priority drill targets in five areas. We have now started our drill program to test these compelling targets,” said Playfair CEO Don Moore.

Playfair Mining is up 15.79 per cent, trading at $0.22 at 12:02 pm ET.
