Arctic Minerals has signed a contractor for Base-of-Till drilling at the battery metals project Kiiminki in Finland. Arctic Minerals has applied for a new exploration permit of 45 km in Kiiminki in Finland. The permit, once granted, will allow for more advanced exploration work. For the summer 2021, Arctic Minerals has signed a contractor to carry out Base-of-Till drilling in Kiiminki with a light drill rig in order to carry out deeper sampling. Additional work for the summer 2021 includes ground geophysics as well as further geological fieldwork. The Company's aim is thus to identify targets for diamond drilling to be carried out during the winter 2021/2022. The Kiiminki battery metals project comprises two exploration reservations totaling 1,025 km2, located northeast of the city of Oulu in central Finland. Arctic Minerals has now also applied a new exploration permit of 45 km2 in the in the Kiiminki area. The Kiiminki area hosts a number of cobalt-copper and lead-zinc-silver-gold geochemical anomalies, coincident with geophysical anomalies.One of the geophysical anomalies is adjacent to mafic volcanic rocks which are also anomalous in gold. The area is also highly prospective for lead and zinc: previous GTK (Geological Survey of Finland) fieldwork found lead-zinc containing boulders assaying up to 11.8% lead, 6.5% zinc, 370 grams/ton silver and 4 grams/ton gold. In recent months the Company has conducted further compilation and interpretation of GTK geochemical and geophysical data. This work has now been combined with the results of geological fieldwork from 2020 in order to plan exploration for the coming summer 2021.
