Lappland Guldprospektering AB has an approved exploitation concession of 22 hectares for its gold project in Stortjärnhobben. The company is now systematically working to develop the project towards an operating mine. The development work is being carried out in several stages, with increased ore knowledge and a deeper understanding of the environmental conditions that must be included in a future environmental application.

The size and execution of the test mining are part of the questions being addressed. In the first phase, a volume of 10,000 tons is planned, which is expected to provide significant information about the deposit, its grades, and processing characteristics. The company has signed an agreement with Sweco Sverige AB to begin a study regarding the necessary environmental permits. The work will primarily be based on information from previous studies conducted in connection with the application for the approved exploitation concession.
