Grit Metals Begins Fully Funded Drilling at Central Finland Lithium Project

Hilo Mining Ltd ( (TSE:FIN) ) has issued an announcement.

Grit Metals Corp. has launched a fully funded 2,500-metre maiden diamond drilling campaign at its 100%-owned Central Finland Lithium Exploration Project, targeting lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatites on the Nabba and Jylhä permits. The program, expected to conclude by the end of May 2026, will test high-priority Kyrölä and Mörkylä targets, with Mörkylä located just 1.5 kilometres southeast of Keliber’s Leviäkangas deposit, underscoring the project’s positioning within an emerging European hard-rock lithium hub.

Management highlighted the rapid advancement of these targets to drill-ready status and the ability to secure a rig during a busy winter and spring season as evidence of strong technical execution. Successful drilling could materially enhance Grit’s resource potential and strategic relevance in the European battery materials supply chain, given its proximity to Keliber’s major lithium investment and the broader push to secure regional critical mineral supplies.
