INCREASED ORE RESERVES AT THE SILVER MINE WITH 33%

Sotkamo Silver is pleased to announce significant increase of ore reserves at the Silver Mine. Ore reserves in categories proven and probable are totally 3 336 000 tons, with 102 g/ton Ag (JORC code 2012). Compared to previous estimate of ore reserves the total reserves have increased with 33 % to 10 940 026 Oz (troy ounce) silver. Increase is 12 % in tonnage and 18 % in silver-content. During the first four planned production-years the silver-content will vary between 120 to 130 g/ton and gold-content will be about 0.4 g/ton. During the third planned production-year the plan-capacity is planned to increase from 350 000 tons to 450 000 tons/year. Planned production-time based on presently known reserves will be 8 to 9 years. Beside these ore reserves there are earlier published mineral resources of 1,33 million tons inferred resources with 75 g/ton silver and about 0,5 million tons containing more than 100 g/ton Ag. A substantial portion of these resources are expected to be converted to ore reserves in a cost-effective way, with reasonable amount of drilling from existing decline. Table.

A side-rock dilution of 15 % in underground and 10 % in open-pit mining has been applied. Silver-content in diluting side-rock is estimated to be 31.3 g/ton Ag.
