European focused mineral exploration company Erris Resources announced today<\/a> that it was granted a new 100%-owned gold exploration permit, En\u00e5sen no.5, which is located in central Sweden, some 370 kilometres north of Stockholm.<\/p>\n

The 59.4 km2 permit encompasses a largely unexplored area surrounding the historic En\u00e5sen mine, which produced 1.7-million tonnes at 3 g\/t gold between 1984 and 1991. Mineralisation in the area is characterised by disseminated chalcopyrite and gold in a topaz-bearing quartz-sillimanite gneiss hosted by quartz-feldspar and quartz-mica gneisses. <\/p>\n

This new licence complements the company’s existing Swedish 100%-owned Nordgruvan Project, which lies outside of the defined area of interest and is operated under a strategic association with Canada’s Centerra Gold.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe addition of the En\u00e5sen Project to our existing portfolio of projects is in line with our stated objective of identifying low-cost opportunities with the potential to create shareholder value. Work is ramping up across this portfolio; we are currently drilling the Abbeytown zinc project in Ireland and working on a portfolio of projects in Sweden funded by Centerra Gold,\u201d Erris Resources CEO, Merlin Marr-Johnson, said in a media statement.<\/p>\n

The executive added that his team will soon start initial reconnaissance mapping and sampling.<\/p>\n
