Q2 2013
•  It is obvious that lower prices changes the circumstances for all
mining projects.
•  However, we can exploit the positive opportunity that our silver
deposit offers, namely to increase the silver content of the mined ore
with lower mining capacity and thus maintain sufficient EBITDA level.
•  These measures may also reduce the need for capital.
•  We intend to increase capacity in the future.
•  Mining is a far forward-looking activity and man starts production in
order to mine decades even if the Company's mineral reserves (ore)
may only show between 8 -10 years production’s time in the
beginning.

PRESS RELEASE 130828
•  THE VOLUME OF THE EXPLORATION TARGET IS
MORE THAN 20 M TON MINERAL RESOURCES
(TOTAL 33 M TON, resources + potential)
•  THIS INCREASE THE TARGET SUBSTANTIALLY
“The result of this study shows clearly the great potential, which Silver Mine deposit
has towards depth and strike. This increases the potential of the Silver Mine projektet
and our expectations of the deposit quality. I am certain that the Silver Mine will have
much longer life time than the actual reserves shows today.”

SILVER MINE OVERVIEW
■  Extensive exploration has been carried out and Sotkamo
Silver acquired the Silver Mine rights in 2007 and the
land area in 2012.
■  Total amount of drilling is 53,1 km.
■  The BFS was completed on the Project in March 2012 by
Wardell Armstrong International, with a supplementary
mine plan review performed by Outotec.
■  Current JORC classified mineral resources are 5 million
tonnes, including 3 million tonnes of ore reserves at
86.11 g/t Ag amounting to 8.2M oz of silver.

LOW RISK AND SIGNIFICANT GROWTH POTENTIAL
Low risk mining ■ Deposit mineralogy is simple, well understood and easy to process, with
and processing
standard grinding and flotation with recovery above 86%.
Significant
■ Geophysical surveys suggest substantial extension to potential mine life and
growth potential resource mineralization.
■ Exploration mineral resource estimate in the inferred category (NI 43-101
compliant) is 13 Mt of ore for 26 Moz silver at 65g/t (cut-off grade 30 g/t Ag).
■ Substantial pipeline of promising exploration projects in the surrounding
Silver Mine region.
Mining friendly
jurisdiction
■ Finland is a AAA-rated country and was ranked as the most favourable
mining jurisdiction (Fraser Institute Survey of Mining Companies 2012-2013).
■ The surrounding region has a well-established mining community with readily
available subcontractors and qualified personnel.
Management
team with
proven track
records
■ The management team has wide experience of running mines in Finland.
Both CEO Timo Lindborg and Managing Director Ilkka Tuokko are
experienced mining professionals with a proven track record of exploration
and production.
Environment
■ Equator Principles Assessment received with no significant issues noted.
15
RAMP-UP BENEFITS SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE EXISTING WORK
■  The mining plan allows for initial shallow open-pit mining with
subsequent underground mining to depths of approximately 450
metres.
■  Annual production is planned at 350,000 tonnes of ore. Total
saleable production is estimated to comprise of approximately
2,000 tonnes of Ag-Au-Pb concentrate, 4,800 tonnes of Zn-Ag
concentrate and 9,000 tonnes of pyrite-Ag concentrate.
Existing underground access
■  The existing mine decline of 2.6 km and ramp access (25 m2) to
the ore, as well as the vertical ventilation shaft extending 350
meters from the surface, are both already in place and ready for
operational use.
