A pretty sensible approach for small cap prospectors, to go back over old cores in known mineral provinces.

RARE EARTH ZONES IDENTIFIED FROM HISTORIC DRILL CORE AT KORSNÄS PROJECT, FINLAND
Managing Director Jason Beckton commented:
“As historical data is combined with new information from the recent site visit, the possibility of a substantial REE occurrence at Korsnäsis becoming increasingly evident. The previous Korsnäs mine, which the Korsnäs Project tenure surrounds, primarily produced lead, with only a small amount of rare earth concentrate extracted in its final years.
"Now, the focus is on exploring for REE, and observations from the recent core logging and sampling have revealed that potential zones of REE mineralisation were not sampled if there was no obvious association with visual lead (galena).
The rocks that contain REE are more widely represented in the drilling than the lead bearing ores and both drilling and geophysics suggest that multiple parallel stacked zones of REE mineralisation should be targeted.
