Natura 2000 – Finland, Rajapalot

Mawson Gold provided an update on a recent decision made by the Regional Council of Lapland regarding the development of mineral deposits in Natura 2000 areas. A vote to clarify a specific point of the Lapland Agreement (a regional development program), showed strong support (42:6) for the development of projects in Natura 2000 areas through the use of “ecological compensation and offset measures”.

The company further announced the start of an 8000m, regional-scale exploration drill program at the wider Rajapalot project. Drilling with two rigs is planned to be completed in four months.
