AA Sakatti Mining Oy has been granted an ore exploration permit 18:0010-01 Värriö on November 7, 2019. The company carried out bedrock mapping by walking in the summer of 2018 when the permitting process was ongoing. No other field work has been carried out so far. The company is exploring for nickel, copper, gold and metals in the platinum group in the permit area.
The company will continue ore prospecting in the winter season 2020 by performing a large-scale ground geographical survey in the eastern parts of the Värriö permit area. Transmitter loops are placed in the area, one by one, and the survey is conducted along the measurement lines extending inside and outside the transmitter loops. The survey is conducted by a contractor’s survey team of 4 persons. To reach the target, the team will follow forest routes and use snowmobiles off-the-road. The operation is estimated to last from February to March.
AA Sakatti Mining Oy will organize a briefing about the survey for the landowners, residents and other stakeholders of the permit area at Samperin Savotta in Savukoski on Wednesday, February 5, 2020, at 18:00.
The event is open for everyone interested. Coffee will be served at the event.
