About the Katajavaara-Aakenus Project
The Katajavaara-Aakenus project covers a total area of 200 square kilometers and is located in the highly productive Central Lapland (“CLGB”) greenstone belt in the north Finland. The CLGB contains numerous occurrences of gold and base metals, with significant recent discoveries including Ikkari (Rupert Resources) and Aamurusko (Risti-Launi; Aurion Resources)1.
The Company will initially focus on five priority target areas for gold and/or copper (see also the Company’s press release dated December 7, 2021):
- potential extensions to Outokumpu Oy’s former Saattopora gold and copper mining operation, which is entirely surrounded by the Aakenus project;
- potential extensions of S2 Resources’ Aakenusvaarus gold project, which is bounded to the E by the Katajavaara project and to the W by Aakenus;
- the Killero copper-gold (“Cu-Au”) anomaly, where exceptional Cu-Au values were obtained from historic Base of Till (“BoT”) drilling by AngloAmerican but never followed by diamond drilling;
- the Riikonkoski-Lonnakko-Kangas group of copper occurrences located along the eastern boundary of the Aakenus Project;
- the Kittilan orogenic gold showing located in the southern part of the property.
The company’s projects also frame the S2 Resources-Kinross JV area in Home, where Kinross has the option to acquire a 70% interest in Home in exchange for an exploration investment of $9.5 million (see S2 Resources press release dated June 3, 2021).
