A fully funded 2,500 m diamond drilling program, with approximately 25 holes has commenced across two permits: Nabba and Jylhä.
-
The program is targeting Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) type pegmatites at Kyrölä and Mörkylä exploration targets (Figure 1).

Mörkylä is situated 1.5 km SE of Keliber’s Leviäkangas deposit, targeting a known mineralisation corridor.
