A further announcement will be made in due course. The commodities being explored and developed on nickel and vanadium, both of which will be highly sought after in tomorrow's tv and battery storage world.

The Airijoki vanadium project In Sweden and the Koitelainen vanadium project in Finland, both contain JORC Code (2012) level inferred resources and have both undergone conceptual techo-economic studies.
