The Putaanperä licence encompasses a 3.5km segment of the highly prospective Sirkka Shear Zone, a regional structure which, along with associated features, is interpreted to host numerous mineral gold occurrences, including the Sore discovery (drilled by B2Gold/Aurion Resources in 2024) and, potentially, Agnico Eagle’s Ikkari Project (45km to the southeast).
At Putaanperä, a sliver of Savukoski Group rocks is caught-up between the Kumpu Group (quartz-conglomerates) and Kittilä Suite volcanic rocks in a porentially complex segment of the shear zone. Following the planned acquisition and interpretation of a UAV-magnetic survey and subject to granting of an exploration permit, Valkea plans to progress exploration of the licence using a systematic program of BoT drilling, building upon historic data of Outokumpu.
