Pure Stakes 683km2 of Highly Prospective Lithium Claims - Finland

Pure Resources Limited (Pure or Company) is pleased to announce it has secured two Prospecting Reservations totalling 683km2 of highly prospective ground in southern Finland (Figure 1). The Company applied for the Kova and Kast Reservations following a global review for future facing metal exploration opportunities.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Pure has secured the Kast and Kova Prospecting Reservations totalling 680km2 of highly prospective ground in southern Finland in close proximity to other existing Lithium and critical mineral deposits (Figure 1).
  • Both prospects are considered highly prospective for Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum pegmatite deposits and are also prospective for gold and base metal mineralisation.
  • The Kova Reservation (544km2) (Figure 2):
    • Situated 130km north of Helsinki in the Tampere region of Finland.
    • Adjacent to, and geologically analogous to, the Seppälä lithium pegmatites.
    • Reservation partially sits within the Eräjärvi metallogenic area.
    • More than 70 pegmatite dykes, enriched in B, Be, Li, Nb, Sn and Ta, are reported from the Seppälä area.
    • Little modern systematic exploration for lithium deposits has been undertaken in the area.
    • Within the Kova Reservation, multiple pegmatite granites have been mapped by the Finnish geological survey (GTK) which will be targeted in upcoming field programs.
  • The Kast reservation (139km2) (Figure 3):
    • Situated 110km west of Helsinki in the Kimito region of southern Finland (Figure 3).
    • Adjacent to, and geologically analogous to the Rosendal tantalum deposit and sits within the Kemiö metallogenic area (Figure 3).
    • The Kemiö metallogenic area is defined by the presence of a late-orogenic granitic, complex pegmatite swarm with a significant potential for lithium, tantalum and beryllium exploitation.
    • Within the Kast Reservation area, a number of pegmatite granites have been mapped by the Finnish geological survey which the Company plans to map and sample in upcoming field programs.
  • The Company (across the two projects) is currently negotiating the purchase of available drillhole (approximately 235 holes drilled historically for ~19,000m), geochemical and geophysical data relevant to the two reservation areas as part of its ongoing data review process. Following completion of the data review, Pure intends to undertake mapping and sampling programs through the northern summer.
Pure’s prospectus dated 11 March 2022 and released to the ASX on 19 April 2022 (Prospectus) outlined the Company’s use of funds (Use of Funds). Under the Use of Funds, Pure has allocated $400,000 for project generative activities.

Pure’s Executive Chairman, Patric Glovac, commented:

“With our current belt-scale Laforge lithium project in Quebec exposing us to the Canadian government’s progressive Critical Mineral Strategy, we have now identified Europe and more specifically, Scandinavia as an area we believe will see significant growth in the battery metals sector with favourable geopolitical and geological conditions.

“As such, we have been reviewing a number of opportunities in Scandinavia and the application of the two Reservations in close proximity to other known lithium areas and is another great step forward in building an excellent, and global, battery metals portfolio.

“The project generation team have been working around the clock with our Finnish counterparts and have again done an excellent job to secure the highly prospective Reservations. With the snow melting as we speak, we are looking forward to completing boots-on-ground exploration over the coming months.”

The Finland Reservations

PR1 Finland Oy (a wholly owned subsidiary of Pure) has registered two Prospecting Reservations, with the Finnish Mining Authority, in southern Finland (Figure 1). The two Reservations cover an area of ~683km2 and are considered highly prospective for Lithium- Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite deposits and are also prospective for gold and base metal mineralisation.

Top 5 Canadian Lithium Stocks of 2025

As the global push toward electrification accelerates, lithium remains a critical piece of the energy transition.

Continued oversupply remained a persistent headwind for lithium prices through the first half of 2025. Demand for the battery metal jumped 29 percent year-over-year in 2024, fueled by surging electric vehicle sales and rising power needs from sectors like data centers and heavy industry.

Fastmarket’s analysts expect lithium demand to grow 12 percent annually through 2030, supported by structural trends such as renewable energy integration and battery energy storage.

Top 3 US Lithium Stocks of 2025

As the global economy shifts toward electrification and clean energy, lithium has emerged as a cornerstone of the energy transition, and the US is racing to secure its place in the supply chain.

Lithium-ion batteries are no longer just critical to electric vehicles (EVs); they're becoming vital across sectors to stabilize power systems, particularly amid growing reliance on intermittent renewables.

According to Fastmarkets, demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) is accelerating, driven by data centers, which have seen electricity consumption grow 12 percent annually since 2017.

Lithium Market Update: Q2 2025 in Review

The second quarter of 2025 brought more downward pressure for lithium prices, as values for lithium carbonate continued to contract, slipping to their lowest level since January 2021.

After starting the year at US$10,484.37 per metric ton, battery-grade lithium carbonate rose to a year-to-date high of US$10,853.85 on January 27. Prices sank through Q1 and most of Q2, bottoming at US$8,329.08 on June 24.

Ekin Ober on Why AI Could Be Mining’s Most Valuable Tool Yet

For Ekin Ober, bringing generative artificial intelligence (AI) to the critical metals sector through her work at Aethos Labs wasn’t just about technological innovation — it reshaped how she thinks about strategy and sustainability in mining.

Now a principal at Kinterra Capital, Ober applies that broad, cross-disciplinary lens to investment decisions, emphasizing the importance of digital fluency, stakeholder alignment and long-term viability.

Her experience helps her identify operational bottlenecks and social license challenges early — essential in guiding assets like nickel and copper projects from concept to production.

Chris Berry: The West Must Invest in Refinement Now or Fall Further Behind

China’s grip on the battery metals sector has drawn increasing scrutiny in recent years as nations confront growing concerns around supply chain risk and resource security.

Through a blend of domestic output and aggressive overseas investment, particularly in Africa and South America, Chinese companies now command a significant share of upstream supply.

The country is responsible for roughly 60 percent of global rare earths production and controls over 70 percent of cobalt supply through its stakes in mines across the Democratic Republic of Congo.
