SOTKAMO SILVER CONTINUES TO INVEST IN THE SILVER MINE - AGREEMENT ON MILL DELIVERY
Sotkamo Silver has entered into an agreement with Outotec (Finland) Oy on the delivery of a grinding mill circuit to the Silver Mine project, which is under construction in Central Eastern Finland. The mills will have a capacity of 450,000 tonnes of ore per year in full production. Outotec which will be responsible for delivery, is a world-leading mining technology company.
According to the agreement, both mills in the grinding circuit will be delivered during autumn 2018. With the agreement, the Company continues to invest in the Silver Mine project, and together with the already commenced infrastructure investments and the construction of the production building, the target is to start the production in early 2019.
This contract provides the most cost-effective utilization of the other parts and equipment of the Blaiken plant and enables the most efficient total costs. The mills from the Blaiken plant will be sold. The agreement is one of the essential equipment delivery contracts, and the purchase of new mills will ensure high utilisation rate and optimum treatment of the ore immediately after the start of production.
"With this agreement, the company intensifies the investments in the ongoing construction of the Silver Mine. The works are proceeding according to plans and in schedule. The company will continue its investments in the construction of the Silver Mine with its cash resources with the goal to start production in the beginning of 2019. At present, the Company is undergoing several discussions regarding financing, to strengthen the Company's cash position before the start of production of the Silver Mine", says Dr. Tech. Timo Lindborg, CEO Sotkamo Silver.
