INCREASED POTENTIAL AT SILVER MINE DEPOSIT DOWN TO THE DEPTH OF 2 000 METERS

The volume of the Exploration Target is more than 20 Mt mineral-resources and the grade 60 g/t Ag at the cut- off grade of 30 g/t Ag, which increase the target substantially.

Sotkamo Silver has conducted an additional geophysical survey at its Silver Mine-deposit. The conductive zone, which is an extension of the deposit, can be defined as an Exploration Target (JORC 2012), because it forms a liable extension of the Silver Mine-Deposit both as to shape and position and in accordance with known geological structures. The zone has been penetrated by six drill-holes which contain the same type of cores as in Silver Mine´s intersections.

In purpose to find possible deep extensions at the Silver-Deposit, Sotkamo Silver engaged GTK to perform an EM Sampo (Gefinex 400S) during 2011-2012 under Geophysicist Matti Niskanen, who also created the first 3D- models to visualise conductive zones. Both the original models and the complementary work indicate that the Deposit extends to the depth of more than -1 400 meters and might bend towards upright and westwards. The model extends to the depth of -2 000 meters, while the lower part below -1 400 meters should be considered speculative and theoretical.

An Exploration Target is a statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a defined geological setting where the statement or estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade (or quality), relates to mineralisation for which there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource.

 “The result of this study shows clearly the great potential, which Silver Mine deposit has towards depth and strike. This increases the potential of the Silver Mine projektet and our expectations of the deposit quality. I am certain that the Silver Mine will have much longer life time than the actual reserves shows today.” Comments Timo Lindborg, CEO
