- Long history in base metals exploration and mining but significant gold mining only since 2009
- World-leading public geoscience digital/online databases from the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK)
- Untested analogues to great gold belts of Canada
- Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) comparable in size to the Abitibi belt of Canada
- CLGB is very immature and under-explored for gold (~30 years of exploration vs 100 years in Abitibi)
- High-grade showings over a large area
- New discoveries in the CLGB highlighting the gold prospectivity
