Tasman Acquires Two Chromite Projects in Finland

Tasman Metals Ltd. (TSXV:TSM)has entered into an agreement with Kipu Metals Corp. under which the company will acquire a 100-percent interest in a portfolio of stratiform chromite projects in Northeastern Finland in exchange for the refund of costs incurred to date of C$45,529 by the vendor.

As quoted in the press release,

Under the Acquisition, Tasman has acquired 2 chromite projects (Akanvaara and Koitelainen) that lie approximately 75 km apart in north-eastern Finland. The projects are secured by 120 exploration claims and claim applications totaling 11,400 hectares in size. North-eastern Finland has been a very active exploration district, following the discovery of the large Sakati Cu-Ni deposit by Anglo American, as announced in November 2011.

Mark Saxon, Tasman’s president and CEO, stated:

Acquisition of this advanced chromite portfolio provides Tasman with the opportunity to broaden our reach in the critical metals arena within Europe. While we maintain our focus on the exciting developments underway at our Norra Karr heavy REE project in Sweden, we remain active in the pursuit of undervalued assets that suit our current portfolio and strategy.
