Flying toward the Finnish line--Kittila gold mine readied for September startup

摘要

Agnico-Eagle is jumping into the Finnish gold industry with both feet. The company's first mine to open outside Canada will be the US190-million dollars KITTILA GOLD MINE, scheduled to begin production this September. The cold snowy winters, low hills, bogs and scrubby pines of northern Finland will look familiar to anyone who has worked in northwest Quebec. Likewise, the geology. Most familiar, though, are the millions of ounces of gold waiting to be mined.
