Anglo American finds huge nickel deposit in Finland
Anglo American announced on Wednesday that it has found a large nickel deposit in Sakattilampi, northern Finland, which could be the largest of the metal in Europe. According to test drillings, the level of nickel contained in the ore samples is as high as 4%, and high levels of copper were also found in the ore.
“This is the peak of my 25-year career”, said Jim Coppard, Anglo’s head of exploratory drillings, at a mining meeting on Wednesday. The deposit stretches to a depth of almost one kilometer, and Anglo plans to double the number of drillings at the site to identify its real width and depth. Sources at the company said the size of the deposit may even make the miner build a smelting plant in Sodankylä, a city nearby.
