UPDATED FEASIBILITY STUDY COMPLETED FOR THE SILVERMINE

• 35 % IRR, 30 M€ NPV (@ 8 %) (calculated with a silver-price of $ 21,5 /Oz Ag) • LOM CAPEX 32 M€ inclusive capacity-increase during year 3 • The Mine: 3.3 million tons mineral reserves • Payback: less than 3 years from production-start   • Expected Life-Of-Mine according to the today’s reserves: 8-10 years • EBITDA-margin 46 % (first 4 years) Sotkamo Silver (NGM: SOSI) has completed an updated Bankable Feasibility Study for the company's Silver Mine-project in Sotkamo, Finland. The study shows acceptable profitability, even at silver-prices under current levels. Production is expected to start late 2015 or early 2016. Calculations are based on new information of ore-reserves, present costs, new mining-schedule and on latest quotes from suppliers and construction- and entrepreneurial-companies. According to cash flow forecast, which is based on an average silver- price of $ 21.5 / Oz between the years 2016-2025, the Mine´s project IRR is estimated to 35% and NPV to 30 million (@ 8%). Pay-back period from production-start is estimated to be less than 3 years. Ore reserves are total 3.36 million tons with an average silver-content of 102 g/ton. The silver-content during the first four planned production-years will be between 120-130 g/ton and the gold-content will be about 0.4 g/ton. During the third production-year capacity will be increased from 350,000 to 450,000 tons per annum in conjunction with the updated environmental-permit. If the silver-price 28 $/oz is used, the estimated IRR is 61 % and NPV is 59 million € (@ 8%). With silver-price15 $/oz, the estimated IRR is 8% and NPV is 0,2 million € (@ 8%). The updated study has been prepared, compiled, evaluated and approved by the independent consultant-group, CTS Engtec Oy. Jouni Kankkunen MSc (Mining), MAusIMM, has compiled the mining plan and ore-reserve estimate. Outotec (Finland) Oyj has, carried out a review on the mine-technology, the Silver Mine’s mine-plan and the mineral-reserve estimates for the Feasibility Study. This review was performed by Pekka Loven, MSc (Mining), MAusIMM (CP) at Outotec (Finland) Oyj. He is a Competent Person under the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC, 2012). The updated mineral reserves (ore) are based on information from the completed Bankable Feasibility Study and information from Sotkamo Silver.   MINERAL RESERVES Mineral-reserves were estimated for each stope in conjunction with the mine-planning, and by applied the economic factors that show a profitable production. A summary of the ore- reserves are shown in the table below. (For table, see attached file) Mineral-reserves (ore) in the category of Known and Probable are 3.336 million tons with a silver-grade of 102 g/t Ag. The calculation follows the Australian JORC Code (2012). In comparison with the previous mineral-reserve estimate total, amount of silver in proven and probable mineral-reserves have increased by 33 percent to 10,940,026 troy ounce silver, which means 12 % increase in tonnage and 18 % in silver-content. The silver- content during the planned first four production-years will be between 120-130 g/ton and the gold-content will be about 0.4 g/ton. During the third production-year capacity will be increased to 450 000 tons per year in conjunction with the updated environmental-permit.   Figure below: The ore-reserves and mining-plan.

The ore-reserve has a recovery of 90 % with a waste-rock dilution of 15 % in underground-mining and 10% in open-pit mining. The silver-content in the diluted side-rock has been estimated to 31.3 ppm Ag. "This update of the feasibility study along with the increase in ore reserves, the amount of silver in the ore, and our new mining-schedule, increase the project’s resistance in periods of low silver-prices. The report also shows that it is relatively easy to increase high content ore-reserves from inferred to probable mineral recourses. As to this background, I look positively towards the nearest future and I am confident that we can achieve the plans that have been resolved”, says Timo Lindborg, CEO.   Stockholm 24th March 2014 Sotkamo Silver AB (publ) Timo Lindborg, CEO   About Sotkamo Silver AB: Sotkamo Silver AB´s business concept is to exploit mineral deposits in the Nordic countries with regards to human society and environment.
