Key financial data

Comments to operations Q1/2012

Pampalo Gold Mine

Mining at Pampalo showed stable progress during the reporting period and was directed to the lower grade areas according to plan. Open pit mining at Pampalo continued from the Pampalo East –area and the ore was mostly stockpiled for later processing.

Continuous safety improvement efforts produced results and Q1/2013 was the fourth consecutive quarter without any Lost Time Injuries at Pampalo. Overall Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR[1]) dropped to zero and thus the Company has achieved its safety target of “zero accidents”. Our own workforce has now worked 740 days without accidents and our contractors 400 days.

The actions taken in conjunction with the minor fire that occurred in the Pampalo underground mine in January confirmed that the safety routines at Pampalo Gold mine are working according to plan. The incident had no effect on the production at the mine.

During the reporting period the Company published its updated resources and reserve statement. Successful mine site exploration during 2012 replaced almost all the ore reserve mined at Pampalo Gold Mine. The Pampalo mine gold production in 2012 was 867 kg but the total contained gold in the Pampalo ore reserves was reduced only by 235 kg. For the updated ore reserves and mineral resources, see Company website.

Operating cost per milled ore ton was slightly below average for last year. Cash cost was 832 USD per oz.

The processing plant capacity expansion project was completed at the end of the reporting period. The project comprised of installation of the second grinding mill and additional flotation capacity. Fine tuning and balancing of the process equipment will continue during the Q2/2013.

The Company has informed the authorities about its intentions to increase the processing capacity and that the capacity increase will not increase or change discharge to the nature. North Karelian Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment has respectively informed that Pampalo production increase to 380 000 tpa level has no effect on the current permit, as there will be no increase of discharge to the nature.

Exploration and Karelian Gold Line development
A new resource estimate was prepared for the Korvilansuo target. Within the Korvilansuo-Elinsuo-Muurinsuo-area all of the results so far obtained support the Company’s view that the area has a real potential for growing into a significant and successful gold project. The area has all the typical characteristics of an Archean greenstone-hosted gold province.

The main target for the coming exploration campaign will be the Korvilansuo-Elinsuo-Muurinsuo area, where the Company intends to drill at least 12,000-15,000 meters during year 2013. The Company has secured enough core drilling contractor capacity as well as all personnel required for this program. The first drilling-rig is operative and the second is expected by the turn of the month April-May.

The preparation of the environmental permit application for the Rämepuro deposit is on-going by Pöyry Finland Oy. The goal is to commence industrial scale test mining and processing during summer 2013. Test mining can commence upon approval from the authorities.

Company
During the period the Board of Directors announced its intention to apply for secondary listing on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. The shares of Endomines are currently traded on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm and will continue to do so also after a secondary listing has been completed. The Company’s ambition is to have the secondary listing completed during Q2/2013.

In March Endomines completed a directed new share issue raising a net of 45 MSEK. The purpose of the share issue was to finance accelerated exploration along the Karelian Gold Line. There was significant interest for this issue and an allotment of 7,944,000 shares was made to mainly Swedish and Finnish investors.

Following the issue, the number of shares amounts to 87,385,625 of which the new shares correspond to approximately 9.1 per cent of the share capital. The Company’s share capital was increased by SEK 23.8 MSEK to SEK 262.2 MSEK.

Personnel
The number of personnel at the end of the reporting period was 85 people. Pampalo Gold Mine had 75 own and 45 contractor employees. Six people were employed in exploration and four people in general administration in Stockholm and Ilomantsi.

Subsequent events
Endomines AB and Cove Resources Ltd ("Cove") have agreed terms for early payment of total acquisition consideration and executed a Deed of Variation to the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of all shares in Kalvinit Oy. Endomines and Cove have agreed that if Cove completes an equity capital raising of not less than 3 MAUD (≈ 20.2 MSEK) by 15 May 2013, then Cove will proceed with the purchase of the Kalvinit Shares by paying the acquisition price in full at Closing.

Outlook for 2013
The gold price has been in a continuous downward trend in April[3]. During Q1 the gold price was 1,631 USD/oz in average according to LBMA. From 1 April to 22 April the average price was 1,501 USD/oz. The management’s view is that fundamentals for the gold price have not changed and that the gold price is believed to recover and remain on a relatively high level.
