HIGH SILVER AND GOLD CONTENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT WIDTHS IN UNDERGROUND DRILLING PROGRAM.

Sotkamo Silver AB has received results from logging and sampling of the first six cores from this year's underground drilling program. The program has being performed with dimension of T-76, 62 mm core diameter. Labtium Oy, which has made assaying, is a FINAS-accredited testing laboratory T025 and T60, meeting the requirements of standard SFS-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005

The assay results from the first five drill holes show high silver and gold contents with substantial widths at Taivaljärvi Silver Mine.

• 175 gram/ton silver and 0,7 gram/ton gold (13 metres in core from hole TU-41)
• 127 gram/ton silver and 1,4 gram/ton gold (6 metres in core from hole TU-43)
• 94 gram/ton silver and 1 gram/ton gold (16 metres in core from hole TU-51
• 237 gram/ton silver and 1,9 gram/ton gold (4 metres in core from hole TU-54)
• 294 gram/ton silver and 0,4 gram/ton gold (16 metres in core from hole TU-58)

The purpose of the drill program has been primarily to increase the indicated mineralresources that will serve as the basis for the feasibility study.

In the table below features the best assay results:

For calculation of the silver and gold equivalents we have used a silver price of 22 USD/ounce, gold price of 1 200 USD/ounce, zinc price of 2 100 USD/t, and lead price of 2 000 USD/t. In addition, we used the 70% recovery and payment reduction for zinc and lead price, but no reduction for gold and silver.

Core drilling was carried out from the mine decline. The distance between drill sections are about 15-20 meters. Metalliferous zones found in each hole. In some holes the mineralised core-sections have significant widths and silver content. In one of them is up to 2 meters in width and 1,235 grams of silver per tonne, and in the second up to over 4 meters width and 357 grams silver per tonne of mineralized rock.

" I am very pleased with the assay results from these drill holes from Taivaljärvi Silver Mine. Assays of underground drilling shows that there are high silver content in these deeper parts of the deposit, "says Timo Lindborg, CEO of Sotkamo Silver AB.
