mineral exploration data -

future prospecting capital!

• New government program 2016

• Key projects for the government term

• Public services will be digitalised

• Ministry of Finance and the StateTreasury report 12/2015• Ready to digi spurt – seven subject areas –some key

1. More agile administration: Legislation must support electronic services more strongly and enable the prioritisation of electronic services.

2. More fluent processing of matters: Authorities collect information manually from various sources…

• TUKES – old reporting process – ineffective and partly”digital”

• GTK’s new strategy• The potential and systemic advantages of digital technology should be realised in all our processes

to allow for innovative operating models, steady accumulation of data capital and solutions that adapt seamlessly to specific client needs.

Synergy of GTK’s strategic themes

Digital technology as a

success factor for GTK

GTK helps foster

cleantech solutions

Mineral-based

economy geared

to adding value Clean

processes and

production

Increasing known

and potential

mineral reserves

Cost-efficient

and safe construction solutions

Low-carbon,

sustainable

energy solutions

Improving

data

collection

and analysis

Geological expertise that enhances sustainability

of built environments and infrastructure

Growth and efficiency

through mineral

technology

Raising the competitiveness of mineral

products and materials

• Exploration permit holders• Reporting to mining authority based on

• Finnish Mining Act (621/2011) - http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/2011/20110621

• Section 14 of the Mining Act

• The exploration permit holder shall submit a report to the mining authority, on an annual basis, of the exploration activities carried out, and the results thereof. Further provisions concerning the information to be provided in the report may be given by government decree.

• Section 15 of the Mining Act

• within six months, submit to the mining authority an exploration work report, the information material pertaining to the exploration, and a representative set of core samples.

• Government Decree on mining activities (391/2012) -http://www.finlex.fi/en/laki/kaannokset/2012/en20120391.pdf

• Section 6 of the Decree

• Exploration report and related data for the exploration permit

• TUKES guides for reporting - http://www.tukes.fi/en/Branches/Mining/Annual-reporting-2016/

Geodata - reporting to Mining authority – Mining law

Large volumes of exploration needed for Canada to realize its true potential (source Fraser Institute

(https://www.fraserinstitute.org/file/permit-times-for-mining-exploration-pyramid-infographicjpg)

These should be reportedto (99%)- >TUKES- >after 6 month to GTK- >back to new exploration
