Europe: Sakatti Project

European Mining Projects: Sakatti Project | SRK Consulting

Significant technological design challenges have been overcome to advance this world-class polymetallic VMS project in an area of protected biodiversity in Finland. SRK technical teams provided pre-feasibility study design solutions for mine access, ore extraction and mine waste management that won’t disturb the overlying Natura 2000 protected wetlands which host wild fauna and flora in an arctic habitat. The mine is designed to have no subsidence. Operations will use electric equipment to limit emissions. To manage waste, cemented paste backfill/waste-rock will be placed in underground voids, and benign tailings will be dry stacked on the surface.
