PRESS RELEASE 130828

• THE VOLUME OF THE EXPLORATION TARGET IS

MORE THAN 20 M TON MINERAL RESOURCES

• TOTAL 33 M TON (resources + potential)

• THIS INCREASE THE TARGET SUBSTANTIALLY

“The result of this study shows clearly the great potential, which Silver Mine deposit

has towards depth and strike. This increases the potential of the Silver Mine projektet

and our expectations of the deposit quality. I am certain that the Silver Mine will have

much longer life time than the actual reserves shows today.”

FURTHER EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

■ Exploration projects ongoing in

the surrounding Silver Mine

region, with claims made on

plots covering over 3,000

hectares in the Tipasjärvi

greenstone belt

■ The map illustrates locations of

the applied claims (previous

Mining Act) and ore exploration

permit applications

■ Additional prospects include

Hopeavuori (Vammala Migmatite

Zone) in Southern Finland.

Management believe there is significant

potential in these zones

Effective implementation of the mining project

There are key points in the mining (development project) process where the resource model is critical to mining decisions, since the resource estimate controls financial expectations at each stage.

• Back to basics – There are no guarantees with new technology.

• Conceptual study

• Pre-feasibility study stage

• Feasibility study stage

• Planning for the unforeseeable – do you have plan B or C

• Mining is cyclical - Volatility is the new stability.

• The licence to operate demands better technology and sustainability.
