MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Mineral exploration and mining industry are cyclical by nature and have had a variety of economic challenges in recent years, but optimism has always existed there. It was fabulous to see this reflected again at the PDAC Convention in Toronto, Canada during my visit earlier this spring.

The convention is the largest annual industry event that attracts investors, analysts, miners, geologists, government officials and students from all over the world. When I visited the convention and the large conference, the activities were on a high level, with more than 24,000 visitors and hundreds of exhibitors. There was a positive atmosphere over the whole area. Willingness to invest as well as activities among investors seem to have increased, and in the Nordic countries we can already see signs of this.

The Company completed a successful issue in July 2016, but needs additional funding to continue its construction work with full power. During the first quarter of 2017 we have continued to work actively to ensure funding, but these activities have taken more time than expected.

We agreed with Traxys Europe SA on marketing- and financing agreements, as if completed, will fully fund the Silver Mine project to the start of production.

After completion of the very detailed technical due diligence process, Traxy's management and board will conduct an assessment process of the project, where the Silver Mine project competes with Traxy's other projects. In addition, further negotiations will be required before the agreements can be signed. These works are going on and the results are expected to be completed in May. Traxys has confirmed in writing, that they are still interested in Sotkamo Silver's project and that they intend to work for a favourable resolution, even though it has been delayed.

The Company still has plenty of liquid funds, so during the spring Sotkamo Silver has prepared the Silver Mine for production by building a new road for heavy traffic and other mining roads. In addition, the necessary ground-, engineering- and planning works have been carried out to keep the planned timetable for production start.
