2017-11-1 The discovery of the Pechenga deposit by the Geological Survey of Finland in 1921 was the initial stimulus for nickel ore research in Finland. Exploration for and research on the Svecofennian (1.88 Ga) nickel deposits began during the 1930 s and continued actively for several decades ( Papunen and Vorma, 1985,Makkonen, 2015 ).

The Kotalahti Nickel Mine is near Kuopio, Finland. The site was first discovered in 1954. Mine operations consist of underground workings. There is one known shaft. The ore mined is composed of pyrrhotite, gersdorffite and pentlandite. The ore body is pipe-like in shape of unknown dimensions. Associated rock in this area is amphibolite.
