This grant is only in relation to Canadian Palladium's Tisova/Klingenthal project which is located on the border of the Czech Republic and Germany.The Exploration Information System (EIS) Project will produce new geological models as well as new, fast and cost-effective spatial analysis tools for mineral exploration. The Project also aims to increase public awareness of the importance of raw materials to society and build confidence in the exploration and production of these geological raw materials.The Project's Science Coordinator, Professor Vesa Nykanen (from the Geological Survey of Finland, GTK) explained, \"We use selected ore deposits as research and test sites for specific mineral systems and metals. These include cobalt minerals in volcanic massive sulphide ore deposits (VMS), lithium-tin-tantalum and tungsten minerals in granite-pegmatite systems, and REE and cobalt minerals in iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) systems,\" Nykänen explains. The research and test sites of the project are located in the Czech Republic and Germany (Tisova/Klingenthal), Spain, Finland, Sweden, France, Brazil and South Africa.The EIS is a project coordinated by GTK and funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe programme.
