  In northern Finland the diamond exploration interests held by Sunrise Resources include seven new kimberlites discovered in a previously unrecognised cluster in north central Finland, now known as the “Kuusamo” kimberlite cluster and numerous additional untested targets in the same area. The Kuusamo project is located in the centre of the Karelian Craton which extends from Sweden, through Finland and eastwards into Russia.

The kimberlites are located in the following project areas:

Kalettomanpuro
Kattaisenvaara
Anomalies 45/47
