Production update and outlook for 2021:

Endomines began stoping on the S4550 level during Q3 2021 at the Friday mine in Idaho, USA. This production will be supported by the addition of a newly overhauled single boom Jumbo drill and the lease to purchase of a second 4-yard underground Loader. The Orogrande processing facility is currently under commenced production and is forecasted to reach planned milling capacity by the end of the Q4 2021.

The development at the Pampalo mine in Finland has proceeded on schedule. Ore production will start in Q4 2021 and ore processing at the mill will begin early Q1 2022.

Due to the refocusing of the Pampalo production schedule from previously planned Q2 2022 to Q1 2022, the short-term Q4 2021 gold production guidance for the operations has been amended to approximately 1,200 oz by year end.

LTIFR = The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate is based on reported lost time injuries resulting in one day or more off work per 1,000,000 hours worked on a rolling 12-month basis. LTIFR has been calculated for the whole company including contractors.

Interim CEO Seppo Tuovinen: “Endomines’ journey from junior gold miner to a two-tier gold producer continues. The focus has been on re-starting the Pampalo underground mine in Finland and the Friday underground mine in Idaho. The Pampalo mine decline was driven down to a new production area; the work is on budget and timeline. We are confident that the Pampalo team and contractors on site are on track in bringing Pampalo mine into production as we have said early this year.

In the US, our Operations Director, Vern Langdale, took over the GM position in addition to his current role. The mill commissioning progresses in line with the expectations, most technical challenges have been resolved and full mill production is forecasted to be reached at the end of Q4 2021. An underground core drilling program is being carried out and will be completed at the end of Q4 2021. This will provide us with new information to update the geological model and production plan.

The development of acquired projects, US Grant and Kearsarge deposit, is progressing at a slow pace as planned until current projects are in a solid production stage and cash flows are positive. These deposits will require further technical studies combined with diamond coring to identify fully the real potential of those projects.

To be able to execute Endomines’ long-term growth strategy, more financing is needed during 2021 and 2022. Endomines is currently reviewing different financing possibilities for this matter.”
