The state-owned company said it has completed a feasibility study related to uranium recovery and has decided to start preparing operations for uranium recovery.
Terrafame said its production process enables the low concentration of natural uranium found in the ore to be used as a by-product.
The company has a uranium recovery plant which is being prepared for operational use.
The preparations will require investments of approximately €20m ($21m) with the plant expected to operate at full capacity of around 200 tonnes a year in 2026.

The government of Finland has granted a uranium recovery permit to Terrafame for uranium production as a byproduct of zinc and nickel production at its Sotkamo mine in the north-east of the country. The process of preparing the uranium recovery plant ready for use will take about a year, Terrafame said today. However, as the government decision can be appealed through Finland's Supreme Administrative Court, the company estimates it will take about two years for the permit to have legal force.
