Kylylahti - Overview
The mine, concentrator and associated facilities will be located near the town of Polvijärvi in Eastern Finland, some 20 kilometres from the town of Outokumpu. Polvijärvi is some 400 kilometres north-east of the capital Helsinki and is accessible via a 40 minute flight to nearby Joensuu. Infrastructure and labour supply in the area are excellent.
A definitive feasibility study on the 100% owned Kylylahti Copper Project was completed in April 2008. The Definitive Feasibility Study was managed by SNC-Lavalin Australia Pty Ltd and was subject to review and optimisation prior to release.
The proposed surface infrastructure and orebody lie within a granted mining lease. A number of claims are also held for exploration potential. The mining lease to the north of Kylylahti which holds the shallow extension is held by Mondo Minerals and Vulcan has acquired the base metal rights within this lease.
