United Lithium announced the start of drilling at its Kietyönmäki lithium project in southern Finland. Stage one will include 10 holes, averaging 100m, aiming to confirm the current geological knowledge and “provide enough data to model a mineralized body exceeding 500000 tonnes with a grade of greater than 1% Li2O”. Upon encouraging results, an additional 400m could be drilled. In addition, the company plans further sampling to explore the area immediately surrounding the Kietyönmäki Li-pegmatite and advised the addition of 535 hectares to the project.
