CEO TIMO LINDBORG

Our team has worked hard these past few months after the production started, navigating in the challenges of mine commissioning. I am very excited that during September the Silver Mine moved into a phase where mining and processing rates are now fully utilized, generating positive EBIT for the quarter. This is a significant milestone for any mining project.

I appreciate the work done by our entire team during the production start. We reached the full production capacity in the concentrating plant and the mine already during the Q3 period, which is in line with the production target. Positive EBIT soon after the outset of production is an excellent achievement. At the same time, our direct deliveries to smelters enable us to secure fast and agile deliveries and cash-flow from sales.

THE BUSINESS

Sotkamo Silver AB owns, directly and through its subsidiary Sotkamo Silver Oy, mineral deposits containing silver, gold, zinc, lead and tungsten. The company's main project is the Silver Mine in Sotkamo municipality, where production ramp up started during the first quarter 2019 and the ramp-up period was finalized by end of August.

Production

The production ramp up was successfully completed by the end of August as planned. Reliability and usability of the concentrating plant has been at a very good level and metal recoveries have fulfilled the expectations. The goal is to mill 330,000 -350,000 tonnes of ore in 2019.

During Quarter 3 we produced ca. 358,000 Oz. silver, 1,081 Oz. gold, 445 tonnes lead and 1,010 tonnes zinc. Since the production start until end of September we produced about 582,000 Oz silver, 1,675 Oz gold, 600 tonnes lead and 1,305 tonnes zinc in the concentrates.

Underground mining and mine development have progressed as planned. Long hole drilling and underground stoping has been started but the share of stockpiled lower grade open pit ore was high in July effecting the head grades of the month. Since August, head grades have improved as the share of high-grade underground ore has increased.

By the end of June, designed milling capacity was achieved and since that the flotation process has been further optimized and stabilized. During the third Quarter 127,000 tonnes of ore was processed bringing the feed tonnes to 218,000 since the production start. The concentrating plant is operated at the designed capacity and with good reliability. Head grades have improved during the third quarter. Lead and zinc production exceed the forecast while silver and gold production were at the planned level at the end of the period.

Production guidance

The production guidance for 2019 is 330,000 – 350,000 milled tonnes as earlier published.

The latest silver production guidance for full year 2019 is 1,000,000 – 1,100,000 Oz Ag (1,150,000 – 1,250,000). Silver is estimated to account for 60-63% of the sales value.
