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.” 3 Comments Timo Lindborg, CEO 3 INCREASED POTENTIAL DOWN TO - 2 000 M Open Pit Mine Decline Planned Decline Total Mineral Resource (JORC) 13 Mill.t, Ag 60 g/t Ore Reserve (JORC) 3 Mill.t, Ag 86 g/t 500 m Drill Intersections R-110: 27.25 m, Ag 92 g/t R-106: 23.40 m, Ag 148 g/t Exploration Target (JORC) >20 Mill.t, Ag 60 g/t 2 Km 4 SENIOR MANAGEMENT HAVE EXTENSIVE MINING EXPERIENCE IN THE NORDIC REGION Timo Lindborg – President & CEO ■ Doctor of Technology, MSc ( Civil Engineering) and BSc (Geology).
