The goal is to develop the current deposits and start mining operations within the next few years. The main projects consist of the Swedish projects Stekenjokk and Levi in \u200b\u200bV\u00e4sterbotten and the Norwegian project Jomaf\u00e4lten located in Tr\u00f8ndelag. During the period 1976 to 1988, a total of approximately 7 million tonnes of ore was mined by operator Boliden in Stekenjokk. It is estimated that there is a remaining indicated mineral resources of approximately 7.4 million tonnes with concentrations of 1.17% copper, 3.01% zinc and 47 gram per tonne of silver (at cut-off content 0.9% copper). For Stekenjokk and Levi, an application for a exploitation concession has been submitted to the Swedish authorities. According to the application, underground mining will be conducted in the winter in Stekenjokk and the ore will then be transported to Joma for processing and tailings handling.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_574\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-574\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-574\" src=\"https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/image51-724x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/image51-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/image51-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/image51-768x1086.png 768w, https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/image51.png 841w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-574\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Overview map of Stekenjokk and Levi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Joma<\/h2>\n<p>In Norway, the subsidiary Joma Gruver AS owns the rights to the Joma field located in the Norwegian municipality of R\u00f8yrvik in the county of Tr\u00f8ndelag in the Namdal region of Norway. The project is located about 60 km southwest of Stekenjokk. The Joma field contains, among other things, the former mines in Joma and Gjersvik, where the company Grong Gruber AS, during the operating period 1972 to 1998, produced about 11.5 million tonnes of ore with an average content of 1.49% copper and 1.45% zinc. The Joma field (excluding Gjersvik) is estimated to contain an additional indicated mineral resource of approximately 5.7 million tonnes of ore with concentrations of 1.55% copper and 0.82% zinc (at cut-off content 0.8% copper). For Joma and nearby areas, a \u201cright of extraction\u201d (2017, the first step in the Norwegian equivalent of a processing concession) or exploration permit has been held since 2017. The business is organized via the Swedish parent company Vilhelmina Mineral AB (publ) and the 75% owned Norwegian subsidiary Joma Gruver AS.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-489\" src=\"https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Presentation1-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1051\" height=\"592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Presentation1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Presentation1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Presentation1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/stagesite.bluelakemineral.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Presentation1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1051px) 100vw, 1051px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bluelake Mineral is active in exploration and mine development within copper and zinc in Sweden and Norway.
