A summary of KPMG´s report you can find on Company's website www.silver.fi.

"KPMG's update shows that the Taivaljärvi Silver-mine project is able to provide an excellent financial result and have a good estimated EBITDA-level. The report shows that the Company's valuation is very low at the moment compared to future expectations, even with conservative silver-price estimates. The market valuations of companies in connection with divestitures are usually estimated 4-7 times annual EBITDA, which would give a good appreciation for investors in this case."  Comments Timo Lindborg, CEO of Sotkamo Silver AB
