3. Company highlights

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

*) 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
