Invest in Finland

Functions

Significant opportunities in a favourable mining environment

The right geology, a long mining tradition, existing data organised in an efficient manner and services of the type required by drilling companies readily available – all of these and more make Finland a favourable investment and operating environment for the exploration industry. Activity is currently concentrated in gold, platinum group metals, base metals, diamonds and industrial minerals but opportunities in many commodity products are still very much under-explored.

Finland offers new entrants in the mining sector security of tenure, political stability and highly-developed infrastructure in which everything works. Recruiting a workforce is also uncomplicated – the general level of education is high and skilled people are available. Environmental requirements are high, while compliance monitoring aims to minimise possible pollution. Overall government attitudes are positive and pro-mining.

Our services cover all aspects of the investment process such as data collection, opportunity analysis, entry alternatives, networking and partner search. Providing assistance and networking services to investors, junior mining companies and prospectors is one of our key focus areas. We operate in close co-operation with the Geological Survey of Finland, the Ministry of Employment and the Economy and Finland's mining community.
