JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Finnish mining company Keliber’s drilling programme has resulted in a 17% increase, or 1.41-million tonnes, in its measured and indicated mineral resources to nearly 9.5-million tonnes.
The most significant increase in the indicated mineral resources, almost one-million tonnes, is in the Rapasaari lithium deposit.

Keliber has said that its drilling programme will continue in the second half of this year, focusing on the Rapasaari, Syväjärvi and Leviäkangas deposits.

In Syväjärvi and Leviäkangas, mainly the northern parts of the known ore veins will be drilled.
