On 4 April, Anglo American submitted a supplement to the EIA Report for its proposed Sakatti polymetallic mine for consideration by the authorities at the Lapland Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment acting as the coordinating authority.

The EIA Report for the mine details the proposed project which includes the extraction of ore using an underground mine, the mineral processing plant (concentrator) located distant from the mire protection area and the hauling of concentrate for further refinement.

All stakeholders can participate in the EIA process. The EIA Report is public and will be viewable on this website and on the website of Finland's Environmental Administration in the second half of April.

The coordinating authority will publish the EIA Report supplement for viewing and commenting and the supplement will be presented at a public meeting in Sodankylä at a time that will be announced later.

The authorities are expected to come up with their view on Sakatti’s EIA during the autumn of 2023.
