CEO LETTER NOVEMBER 2017
The most important event of the quarter was the subscription period for Sotkamo Silver's warrants in August. A total of 13,347,599 new shares were subscribed with warrants, and the Company acquired new capital for the amount of approximately 53.2 MSEK (approximately 5.6 M€). The subscription rate was 65%. The total number of shares and votes in Sotkamo Silver amounts to 119,313,694 shares and the share capital is 163,649,896.48 SEK. The Company's cash position was significantly strengthened. This improves the Company's ability for financing the Silver Mine project.

Sotkamo Silver has compiled an updated Technical Report on the Silver Mine Project. Based on the report’s economic analysis, the Silver Mine project will be highly profitable according to the current assumptions and knowledge. Based on the positive results of the Technical Report and on the boost on the cash position, the Board has decided to continue actions for commencing production at the Silver Mine. The Company has started planning and construction of the building for the Silver Mine's concentrator plant and is engaged with the detailed planning. We will move the equipment from Blaiken to the new building during the first half of 2018. The investment for the building amounts to approximately 6.5 million euros. The building with inclusive investments is expected to be ready by the end of June 2018. I'm pleased to see that the Board decided to start the construction of the concentrator plant building deploying the Company's strong cash position, even though the negotiations on the final financing package are still under way. This decision will speed up the start-up of production and allow us to keep to the current schedule and budget.

The infill core drilling program of the Silver Mine has also been implemented and the results indicate high silver and gold levels at infill core drilling in the deeper parts of the Silver Mine and under the existing ore deposit. The drilling results reinforce my view that there are mineral resources with higher metal and gold levels in the depth under the known ore reserve. Drilling results, together with previous research findings, reinforce Sotkamo Silver's view that the silver deposits extend at least to the depth of 1 500 - 2 000 meters below ground level. The exploration target volume in the depth under current mineral resources is more than 20 million tonnes of potential new mineral resources.

At present, the Company is undergoing several discussions regarding financing. We work with several opportunities and engage in advanced negotiations with a number of financiers. I am optimistic that Sotkamo Silver can find a win-win alternative among the several financing solutions being negotiated or evaluated by us. However, these discussions do not so far constitute a commitment to any transaction or financing on their side or ours.

The silver price has taken a roller-coaster ride throughout the year, especially during the first months of the year. Now the price seems to have stabilized at around 17 dollars per troy ounce since late September and early October. It seems that the silver price and also the gold price will need a significant market pressure to break higher. Normally we can expect an inverse relationship between the precious metal prices and the US dollar. Since the beginning of October the dollar has been strengthening, which suggests a corresponding fall on the silver price. This did happen in early October, but since then the silver price has stabilized at around 17 dollars per troy ounce. Something may be happening that generates a pressure for rising prices, which counteracts the stronger dollar's influence for decreasing the price of the precious metals and silver. Although the time period is too short for definitive conclusions, this situation is worth following in the coming months. When estimating the silver price development in the near future we must closely follow dollar price development in conjunction with the US tax reform, demand for silver, geopolitics and US interest rate policy, and other possible unpredictable incidents.
