Sotkamo Silver AB has finished the mapping and sampling of the drill cores obtained from this years´s drilling program. This program consists of 11 holes. 1 750 meters in total of drilling were performed. All the samples have been delivered to Labtium Oy in Rovaniemi for assays. The assay results from the five first holes have been received and show high silver and gold contents in significant widths.

• 243 gram/ton silver and 0,3 gram/ton gold (14,5 metres in core from hole T-16)

• 476 gram/ton silver and 1 gram/ton gold (6 metres in core from hole T-20)

• 120 gram/ton silver and 2,3 gram/ton gold (2 metres in core from hole T-22

• 242 gram/ton silver and 2,8 gram/ton gold (9 metres in core from hole T-24)

• 284 gram/ton silver and 1 gram/ton gold (2 metres in core from hole T-29)

Also native metallic silver was found in the course of core mapping. These native silver occurrences were observed in two separate drill holes. Native silver in quartz veins occurs as 1-2 millimetre sized grains and narrow strings.

The aim of the drilling program has mainly been to increase the indicated mineral resources and confirm the metal content in earlier drillings carried out by Outokumpu.

The core drilling was carried out from the surface, down to a level between – 100 to -130 meters below surface. The distance between the drill sections are approximately 15-20 metres. Metalicgeous zones were found in each hole. In some holes the mineralised core-sections had significant widths and silver contents. In two of them up to 6 metres in width and almost 476 grams silver per ton, and in the other up to over 14 metres and almost 243 grams silver per ton mineralized rock.

”I am very pleased with the assay results from these drill holes in the silver deposit Taivaljärvi. The results from surficial parts show that there are high silver and gold contents even in this part of the deposit. At the same time, gold contents from earlier drillings have been confirmed in this part of the deposit”, comments Timo Lindborg, CEO of Sotkamo Silver AB.
