Malmkärra
Malmkärra is an REE-focused project in Bergslagen, linked to historical iron ore mines where rare earth elements have been detected in association with iron ore.
Project focus
Further evaluation of previous investigations
Quality assures existing documentation and determines the role the project should have in the portfolio.Assessment of possible next steps
Defines whether the project warrants more targeted follow-up at a later stage.
Malmkärra is located in Norberg municipality and is part of the so-called REE line in Bergslagen. The project is linked to historic iron ore mines where historical analyses have shown high concentrations of rare earth elements associated with iron ore.
The project's technical relevance is based on the possibility of evaluating the relationship between older iron ore environments and documented REE concentrations. This makes Malmkärra relevant to Crustal's work on strategic metals and historic mining environments in Bergslagen.
Crustal's work with Malmkärra is at this stage focused on further technical evaluation of existing data. The project should therefore be described as an REE-focused project under evaluation, rather than as an active field programme.
