Endomines brings forward start of Selective mining, slightly reduced production in 2015/ received a waiver from Nordea for breaches of loan covenants

Production guidance and Selective Mining The previously announced start of Selective Mining in early 2016 has, for practical reasons, been brought forward. This will slightly decrease the 2015 annual production from the previously announced production guidance of 550-600 kg of gold. The co-operation negotiations have been concluded and about 50 % of the Pampalo mine operational personnel have been temporarily laid off from latest today’s date. Endomines will, as normal, release its quarterly production update early January 2016. During 2016 the Company expects to produce approximately 300 – 350 kg gold from its Pampalo mining operations. Production in 2016 will be based on the selective mining principle. During 2016, the Company intends to mine and process approximately 125,000 tonnes of high -grade ore. Mining will therefore be concentrated to previously known, as well as in 2015 discovered high-grade areas. The reduced mine tonnage will be processed in campaigns, approximately for 7-10 days per month. The Pampalo underground mine will operate continuously, however only during weekdays. The Company expects these changes to the mining and processing schedule, including the temporary lay-offs of personnel, to improve the profitability of its Pampalo Gold mine operations. Cash Cost is estimated to be reduced below the current and forecasted gold price level. Financial covenants Due to the lower than planned gold volume Endomines will be in breach of its financial covenants for the full year 2015. The lender Nordea Bank has waived the above mentioned covenant breaches. Finnvera as guarantor has given its consent to this waiver. Other terms and conditions in the loan agreement remain thereby unchanged. Total bank loans as of today amount to about 68 MSEK (7,290 KEUR) and agreed amortizations will start in 2018.
