LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Anglo American and Finnish Minerals Group have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to explore opportunities to further support Finland's battery strategy.
Finnish Minerals Group is a holding and development company that manages the Finnish Government's mining industry shareholdings and supports the development of the Finnish battery value chain.

Alison Atkinson, projects & development director at Anglo American, said: "Finland is a highly attractive investment destination and has a strong heritage in both mining and innovation. We look forward to working with Finnish Minerals Group, whose mission is to responsibly maximise the value of Finnish minerals, to explore the wealth of opportunities that our agreement could offer.

"This agreement further strengthens our commitment to Finland as well as to our Sakatti project, a true polymetallic orebody very much aligned to Finland's and the EU's critical minerals priorities. Sakatti is designed as the next generation of FutureSmart Mining, building on what we have learned in terms of minimal surface footprint and using technology and innovation to deliver ever better environmental and social outcomes, whilst producing essential raw materials needed to transition to a greener, low carbon energy future."
