 Endomines AB, Stock Exchange Release 25 March 2021 at 08:30 CET

The first steps in taking Pampalo mine back into production has progressed well. The mine site preparation for production commenced in February, when the Mill and Crushing plant were tested. The long lead-time items needed for production have been identified and those orders will be placed in April this year.  The Tailing dam’s capacity will be increased, and design work and contract document preparation will also commence in April.

After two years under care and maintenance, the existing decline will undergo a refurbishment programme consisting of decline roads re-construction, mine dewatering improvement and power network upgrading. After a thorough contract negotiation round, Power Mining Oy has been chosen to refurbish the current decline and drive the decline development down a further 100m to the 855RL.

Power Mining Oy will mobilise to site in April and construction works will begin with the first blast later the same month. Due to restarting the Pampalo Operations, Endomines have begun strengthening the operational site management team with the addition of an underground shift boss with further staff to join the team in April and May.
