In Europe
GREENPEG focuses its research on three active and representative European demonstration sites, leased by local project partners for LCT and NYF pegmatite exploration: Wolfsberg, Austria; South Leinster, Ireland; and Tysfjord, Norway. The selection spans the spectrum of challenges in exploration for pegmatite deposits: variable wall rocks (Leinster), soil cover and vegetation (Norway), extreme, Alpine topography (Wolfsberg. These features will ensure that the delivered toolsets are robust and flexible enough to be applicable in manifold environments. Interestingly, the three demonstration sites represent pegmatitic mineralisation formed during three different orogenies: from the Svecofennian (Norway), the Caledonian (Ireland) to the most recent in Europe: the Alpine orogeny (Austria). This is the nature of our continent: different and yet a whole!
