According to the technical measure, the ore prospecting area is located in a very sensitive area in terms of groundwater and nature conservation.
On Viitasaari, the city does not take kindly to the ore prospecting permit applied for in the Kolima area.
The Safety and Chemicals Agency Tukes has asked the city for a statement on the application of Akkerman Oy, which applied for an ore prospecting permit in the area.
Viitasaari’s technical operation has stated that the ore prospecting area is located in a very sensitive area in terms of groundwater and nature conservation.
According to the mayor’s statement proposal, an ore prospecting permit should not be granted, as it would not be possible to start mining in the Kolima area either.
The Viitasaari city council will discuss the matter on Monday.
