Company highlights

3

Pampalo Gold Mine construction completed in December 2010 on schedule and

in line with the budget of €20 million

Gold production of 867 kg in 2012 within target of 800-900 kg for the year, with

an average head grade of 4.0 g/tonne

The Company focuses on gold production in Pampalo Gold Mine and

exploration of satellites along the Karelian Gold Line

All of the Company’s industrial mineral deposits have been divested or are

undergoing divestment

The plant in Pampalo is centrally located in the Karelian Gold Line close enough to

process ore from all the Company’s satellites in the area

The ore processing capacity has been increased from 270,000 tonnes/annum to

450,000 tonnes/annum in order to be ready to process ore from satellite mines along

the Karelian Gold Line

Endomines runs an extensive exploration program along the KGL (~€1.5 million in

2013)

During 2011, the Company made an interesting discovery – the new Korvilansuo gold

deposit. 2012 drillings returned unexpectedly good results and Korvilansuo is the

main focus for exploration 2013

Exploration update 2013 – 61 holes drilled, 90% returned gold intersections

Endomines is convinced that the current exploration program will increase

resources and reserves

Operations in line

with schedule

Strict focus on

gold going

forward

Well located plant

with increased

capacity

Great exploration

All long term strategic plans have been carried out consistently and successfully, on schedule as

well as within the budget *) Endomines calculates ”Cash Cost” per ounce figures using the guidance issued by The Gold Institute Production Cost Standard. Direct

mining, ore processing and site administration, and off-site smelting and refining costs are included in the ”Cash Cost” calculation, but

amortization, stock change, reclamation, capital and exploration costs are excluded. The ”Cash Cost” is calculated per payable ounces

Impact Assessment

Local authorities have informed that Pampalo processing plant

capacity increase to 380,000 tonnes/annum has no effect on the

current environmental permit

Pampalo environmental permit renewal and capacity increase

application (up to 450,000 tonnes) was filed in February 2012

Endomines expects a decision on the environmental permit

renewal late 2013

Regional Environmental Impact Assessment has been filed in

June with a view to start production from satellite deposits along

the Karelian Gold Line
