Comments to operations during Q4/2012 and full year 2012

Key financial data

In 2012 a roll over a total of 6,000 oz of the current gold hedge to the year 2016 was made to support financing of the capacity expansion at Pampalo. The positive cash flow effect is estimated to approximately 26 MSEK.

Pampalo Gold Mine

Mining at Pampalo showed stable progress during the reporting period and took place from the high-grade areas. Good head grade in combination with efficient mining resulted in the highest quarterly gold production since inception of the mine. Whole year production was also very satisfactory and guidance of 800 kg was surpassed with a good margin.

Continuous safety improvement efforts are also producing results and Q4/2012 was the third consequent quarter without any Lost Time Injuries at Pampalo. Overall Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) 9 is again clearly better than the industry average but the Company remains committed to our overall safety target of "zero accidents”. The safety routines proved to work well during a minor fire in the underground mine in January 2013. Our own workforce has now worked 692 days without accidents and our contractors 343 days.

Table: Key production figures[2] (http://connect.ne.cision.com#_ftn2)

Cash Cost decreased due to higher gold head grade and gold production during the period. OPEX amounted to 778 SEK/tonne, which was higher than the 12 month-average of 640 SEK/tonne. This was partly due to increased total OPEX in mine production and lower than normal capacity utilization in the plant. Part of the cost increase was due to repair of the crusher. A rented mobile crusher was used during repair time.

The Pampalo processing plant capacity expansion project is progressing as planned and on schedule. Test runs have commenced mid-January 2013 and we expect that the increased processing capacity can be fully utilized before the end of February. The formal environmental permit renewal will be delayed to summer 2013 but the increased capacity can be utilized with the current permit. The Pampalo processing plant capacity increase to 380,000 tpa level has no effect on the current permit. The incremental production will not increase discharge to the nature from the plant. Endomines has applied for a capacity expansion to a maximum of 450,000 tonnes per annum but expects to operate the plant at an annual capacity of up to 380,000 tonnes per annum. During 2013 70-75 % of the ore will be derived from the underground mine and additional ore production will be mined from the Pampalo East open pit areas. Ore and waste rock mining did commence during the reporting period by the contractor Lemminkäinen Oy.

During the period Endomines Oy received a positive decision of the investment subsidy of up to 3.8 MSEK (447 KEUR) from the North Karelia Centre for Economic Development Transport and the Environment. The grant is for the ongoing Pampalo processing plant capacity expansion. The subsidy can be a maximum of 25 percent of the total investments in equipment. The grant indicates great support to the mining industry and for investments in this region.

Early 2012 Pampalo Gold Mine started gravimetric concentrate production and signed a sales agreement with a Norwegian company K.A. Rasmussen AS in May 2012. The agreement of flotation gold concentrate production sale to Boliden was renewed in September. Endomines will deliver its estimated annual flotation concentrate production of 4,500 — 5,500 tonnes to Boliden's Harjavalta smelter in Finland. The agreement is signed for a period of two years, with the option of extending for a further two years subject to agreement.

The Pampalo Gold Mine has now achieved a stable production but a lot of challenges remain for the whole personnel. Our main targets will be to keep production head grade in good level. We will also continue our underground and surface exploration works at Pampalo and continue deepening the underground mine

The number of personnel at the Pampalo Gold Mine at the end of the reporting period was 70 own and 30 contractor employees. In addition, there were four persons working on exploration and three in administration in Stockholm and Ilomantsi.

Exploration and Karelian Gold Line development

The company started systematic exploration along the Karelian Gold Line in June 2011 by airborne low-altitude [VTEM] geophysical surveys over the entire permit area. Exploration continued by diamond core drilling and several new drilling targets have been identified during years 2011- 2012.

We can already now conclude that the company’s systematic exploration project during the years 2011- 2012 has been successful. The company has discovered a new deposit Korvilansuo and all results received so far support our firm conviction that the Korvilansuo area with its extension northwards to Kivisuo-Elinsuo-Muurinsuo targets has all the necessary characteristics of Archean greenstone-hosted gold provinces and real potential for growing into a significant and successful gold project. Up to now the core drilling has been focused to a limited area due to permit applications pending.

A large part of exploration results have been received and published but due to serious overload problems in all certified laboratories used by the company complete results have not yet been received. Complete results from 2012 exploration campaign will be published when all relevant results are available. The Company intends to publish a resource and reserve estimate update for Pampalo and Rämepuro during the Q1/2013, as well as a resource estimate for Korvilansuo.

Due to promising exploration results, Endomines has also decided to include the Korvilansuo property to the ongoing Karelian Gold Line Environmental Impact Assessment Study. The study is prepared by the environmental consulting company Linnunmaa Oy. The study covers the whole 40 km long Karelian Gold Line and includes all currently known deposits or advanced exploration targets Hosko, Kuivisto, Rämepuro, Muurinsuo, Korvilansuo and Kuittila.

Environmental permit application preparation for the Rämepuro deposit is ongoing by Pöyry Finland Oy. The target is to commence test mining during summer 2013. Test mining can be done by approval from the authorities.

Focus on gold mining and exploration

Focusing entirely on the gold mining and exploration started during summer 2012 when Endomines entered into an agreement to sell Kalvinit Oy together with its ilmenite deposits to Cove Resources Ltd in July. Prior to completion of the transaction, Cove Resources will conduct a customary feasibility study of the ilmenite deposits held by Kalvinit. Completion of the transaction is conditional on the results of the feasibility study being satisfactory to Cove Resources.

Endomines’ transformation to a pure gold mining and exploration company continued further during the reporting period, when the company sold its subsidiary Kuovila Limestone Oy to Juuan Dolomiittikalkki Oy.
