Project Details

The Kietyönmäki lithium project was discovered by the Finnish Geological Survey (“GTK”) in the mid-1980’s.   GTK drilled 17 shallow diamond drill holes to test down to 70 metres below surface across three traverses, including one traverse of very shallow holes to locate bedrock. In 2016, six holes were drilled by Sunstone which intersected lithium mineralization hosted within a spodumene-bearing pegmatite dyke swarm.

Historical drilling results from GTK include 24.25 metres grading 1.31% Li₂O in drill hole R310 from 58.75 metres; 13 metres grading 1.66% Li₂O in drill hole R316 from 86.00 metres; and 23 metres grading 1.53% Li₂O in drill hole R307 from 14.10 metres.

Historical results from Sunstone include 42 metres grading 1.10% Li₂O in drill hole KMDD001 from 17.88 metres; 6 metres grading 0.90% Li2O in drill hole KMDD002 from 115.14 metres; and 9 metres grading 0.80% Li₂O in drill hole KMDD006 from 167.00 metres.

Surface channel sampling by GTK included 16.25 metres at 1.72% Li₂O, 115.6 ppm Nb₂O₅ and 130.2 ppm Ta₂O₅; 7.70 metres at 1.21% Li₂O, 100.2 ppm Nb₂O₅ and 111.3 ppm Ta₂O₅ and 2.25 metres at 1.10% Li₂O, 105.4 ppm Nb₂O₅ and 163.5 ppm Ta₂O₅.
