This reservation in the northern part of the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) is also underlain by a series of approximately 1.8 billion year old granitoids, including 2 mica granites intruding meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic rocks and pegmatites. This reservation is considered prospective for battery and rare metals (Lithium, Cesium and Tantalum), and rare earth elements (Ytrium, Niobium and Fluorine) among others.

Mairivaara and Nousu Reservations
These reservations are underlain by mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks of the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) and are considered prospective for precious and base metals.
