Supplements to the environmental permit application for the Suomussalmi talc project have been submitted to the Regional State Administrative Agency

The most significant supplements included more detailed information on the methods used for wastewater treatment in the operation, as well as an assessment of the achievable residual concentrations of key pollutants. In addition, the combined effects of the Kivikangas quarry, the current waste rock area and the planned talc production were assessed, as well as solutions related to the integration of waste rock areas.

The permitting authority will continue processing the application.

The company's objective is to enable the construction of a modern, carbon-neutral and traceable talc-producing plant on the current factory site of the Suomussalmi soapstone quarry and factory.
