Turnstone Resources Ltd has completed high-resolution drone magnetic surveys across its entire Swedish copper-gold portfolio, covering approximately 100 square kilometres across the Glava, Torsby West, and Klinten project areas in the Värmland region of south-west Sweden.

The surveys were flown in July over approximately 670 line kilometres at a 25-metre line spacing. According to the company, the work was delivered on schedule and within budget, providing every project in the portfolio with modern geophysical coverage for the first time.

Limited glacial till cover across the Swedish holdings allows low-cost surface and airborne techniques to gather data efficiently ahead of any drilling decision. The newly acquired magnetic dataset will now be integrated with upcoming field observations to refine geological models.

“We continue to make good progress in implementing our exploration program. The next step is for our geological team to map selected areas and combine the field observations with the magnetic data and existing geochem sampling to advance our geological understanding. Each step in our systematic cost effective exploration is designed to ultimately support drill targeting.”

— Len Jubber, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

Turnstone plans to conduct targeted geological mapping across all three project areas. The combined magnetic and mapping datasets will feed into a formal decision gate to determine whether the technical case supports direct drill testing or whether intermediate electromagnetic surveying is required.
