”I can’t think of a more professional drilling company in the whole of Fennoscandia”

Mineral Prospektering i Sverige AB is a Swedish private junior exploration company that operates mainly in Sweden and Finland. Finnish ore exploration and core drilling company Kati Oy Ab works as a contractor for Mineral Prospektering i Sverige. The liaison has been prolific because the companies share the same vision considering both the safety aspects and the importance of productivity.

Jim Coppard is an Exploration Geologist and the CEO of Mineral Prospektering i Sverige. He has over 20 years’ worth of experience of working with Kati. He has seen firsthand why the company is such a good partner to work with.

– I’ve worked with all the drilling companies in Sweden and Finland and Kati really understands the importance of getting the drill hole where it needs to be. They also understand what’s essential about quality, safety, and environmental responsibility, he states.

Work safety is the key

For Mineral Prospektering i Sverige, safety comes first in everything they do.

– Anyone who believes that safety is something that is a paper exercise is completely wrong. In this industry, safety has to be a way of living, Coppard says determinedly.

Kati has proven that they share the same passion for safety.

– They have the same philosophy considering safety as we do. In our business, everyone is learning all the time. We have to be able to continuously improve the safety standards in the mineral exploration industry as a whole.

Shared values make for an easy partnership

“The fact is that our core values are very well aligned with the core values of Kati.”

The employees at Mineral Prospektering i Sverige know that continuous productivity is critical to their business. Exploring and mining new mineral resources effectively means that they need to spend money to gain money in return. Kati fits this picture well.

– What I care about is discovering minerals safely and in an environmentally stable way. The fact is that our core values are very well aligned with the core values of Kati, Coppard says.

– I can’t think of a more professional drilling company in the whole of Fennoscandia, he concludes.
