Nordic Mining has received promising results from advanced chemical analysis of quartz from the company's deposit at Nesodden in Kvinnherad municipality in western Norway.

 

Dorfner ANZAPLAN (www.anzaplan.de), an internationally accredited German laboratory has carried out advanced chemical analysis on the Nesodden quartz. ANZAPLAN has extensive experience in high purity quartz (HPQ) analysis.

 

The impurity content of raw quartz bulk samples were analyzed at very low detection limits.

 

Analytical results for two quartz samples are shown in the enclosed table.

 

The samples show low levels of contaminating elements which is promising in terms of making high grade quartz products suitable for a range of applications. Nordic Mining plans to carry out processing tests to make HPQ products that meet market specifications. There is a growing demand for HPQ in high-tech industry applications such as semiconductors, telecommunication, optics, electronics, and solar silicon.

 

Detailed mapping and sampling of the deposit will be carried out jointly with NTNU during the summer of 2011. This will give a better understanding of the variations and dispersion of quartz qualities within the deposit.

 

The Nesodden deposit consists of at least 2.7 million tons of hydrothermal quartz located by the Hardanger fjord in Kvinnherad municipality in western Norway. The quartz appears in a 600 meter long and on average 12 meter wide quartz vein reaching to at least 150 meters depth. Nordic Mining holds the rights to investigate and develop the deposit.
