Comments
Matti Talikka, CEO of Aurion Resources commented: "The acquisition of the Keulakkopää exploration permit area further expands and consolidates Aurion's wholly owned Risti property, which already hosts several recent gold discoveries. Aurion's extensive land package in Central Lapland covers highly prospective ground within an area we believe to be an emerging gold camp."
