It acquired the Lahtojoki diamond mining concession in April 2016 from A & G Mining OY. Since then, Karelian have identified further Market Cap (£M) 1.2 diamond potential through the discovery of kimberlite boulders in till adjacent to the EV (£M) 1.3 Lahtojoki diamond deposit. In the Kuhmo area, Karelian have further defined the Seitapera pipe, the largest known kimberlite pipe in Finland which covers an area of 6.9Ha, and discovered a number of other kimberlite dykes in the vicinity. Price Chart 8.0 Diamonds in Finland 7.0 The first kimberlite in Finland was discovered in the 1960’s by Malmikaivos Oy. 6.0 Despite 50 years of exploration no diamond mine has been developed yet, despite the fact that there are two very significant diamond mines in the Russian controlled 5.0 part of the craton.

The prospect consists of several claim reservations totalling up to about 80 km2 . The local bedrock comprises Late Archean plutonic rocks, some remnants of greenschists, and abundant Paleoproterozoic hypabyssal mafi c dikes . Quaternary cover includes one till bed up to a few metres thick and locally glacial outwash, sand and gravel . The area has low relief and between drumlins and moraine hillock s the ground may be swampy. Climate is continental with a mean temperature of +1 °C . Winters are rather cold and snow cover may exceed one metre . Snow cover stays in open areas some 190 days per year and frost may penetrate the till down to nearly 2 metres . The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) has been carrying out regional heavy minerals studies on Quaternary sediments since 1992. The Lentiira Prospect is the first discovery site of kimberlitic indicator minerals from this regional study where a more detailed till sampling ha s been completed. The detailed investigation comprises some 50 surficial and basal till samples .

Attitudes to the wolf divide Finns, and the wolf itself causes opinion to change fast once it has arrived in new areas. The wolf is a perpetual problem environmentally, something people have to live with on a daily basis. But what is the importance of social sustainability and how can protection of the wolf be reconciled with what local people see as a decline in the quality of life? How should the wolf issue be managed and who should act in what situation? These are the questions which have to be addressed in preparations for a national policy on wolves. Studies relating to policy on large carnivores for the University of Helsinki’s Institute for Rural Research and Training (Ruralia) represent a breakthrough, yet people in rural communities have always been at the centre of research. The sustainable use of natural resources is becoming more and more about socio-economic issues, with ecology obviously imposing its own set of condi- tions.

  • Paltamo Full Employment Experiment: an Application of The
    Paltamo Full Employment Experiment: An Application of the Synthetic Control Method Kosti Takala∗ February 26, 2015 Abstract In this paper I study the effects of the Paltamo Full Employment Experiment, an activation measure for the unemployed which combines their prior unemployment benefits and a bonus into a salary. Thus, the unemployed have to work for their benefits unless they are willing to go on social assistance. To estimate the effects on unemployment and on the related benefits and allowances, I employ the synthetic control method to construct counterfactuals for Paltamo, a Finnish municipality in which the experiment was run from 2009 to 2013. I find that there was a real and statistically significant drop in unemployment and related benefits that lasted throughout the experiment. However, the experiment ended up costing more to the government than what could be retrieved through savings in benefit payments. Keywords: Labor market experiment, Unemployment, Synthetic control method ∗Department of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [email protected] 1 1 INTRODUCTION 2 1 Introduction The ever aging Finnish population means more dependents (children and pensioners, but mostly pensioners) and, therefore, more allowances, benefits and pensions to cover by the efforts of a stagnating labor force. Add to the equation a high unemployment, especially in the long term, and its related (generous) benefits and health problems, and you get a government deficit tantamount to a house of cards waiting to collapse, unless something can be done to the different costs stemming from unemployment. To tackle the above problem, many countries have implemented measures such as active labor market policies, the scale and evaluation of which has been inadequate.

    Winter War Operations This document is designed to be used with the Winter War Scenario Location Map.pdf file located in the main game directory, which provides an overview map of the contested area and the general locations of the actions listed here. 001.Getting Started.scn – 10 turns 20 December 1939, near Kollaa River (Hypothetical) The struggle to control the Loimola road and the railroad track raged on from early December to the end of war. Finnish 34th Infantry Regiment used every available reserve squad to counter dozens of Russian probes into the Kollaa defense line; sending fire brigades to counter another crisis against an overhelming enemy. This scenario depicts a situation where a Russian probe manages to capture a forward trench line. Finnish HQ reacts swiftly and sends a company to recapture the trench before Russians find time to consolidate their gains. 002.Terijoki.scn – 16 turns - Winterhorde Onward Ride 30 November 1939, Terijoki, Finland Karelian Isthmus As the Russo-Finnish War launched the Kremlin pompously anticipated a steamroller campaign that would consume tiny Finland within a week. With an air of overconfidence, the RKKA crossed the Finnish border on the morning of 30 November woefully unprepared for the hell on earth that would become known as the Winter War. Knowing that the Russian prediction may not be too far off of the mark due to the fact that Finnish Forces were hopelessly outnumbered and possessed virtually no armor, Finnish High Command organized four "Covering Groups" that would fight a series of stubborn delaying actions back to the Mannerheim Line.
