Statements in this presentation which are not purely historical facts, including
without limitation statements regarding future estimates, plans, objectives,
assumptions or expectations of future performance are “forward-looking
statements”. Investors are advised that by their nature as visual aids,
presentations provide information in a summary form and are prepared as a
presenter’s aid and support - not a standalone document. Please note that such
“forward-looking statements” involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include fluctuations in
metal prices, unpredictable results of exploration activities, uncertainties inherent
in the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, fluctuations in the costs of
goods and services, problems associated with exploration and mining operations,
changes in legal, social or political conditions in Finland, and lack of appropriate
funding, all of which could among other things, prevent any of the forward looking
statements in this presentation from coming to fruition or lead to a delay in the
commencement of mining operations.

The Karelian Gold Line is a 40 km long gold
critical belt, where Endomines controls all
currently known gold deposits - mineral rights for
132 km2 claims and reservations
Current Life-of-Operations (management view)
expected to be 4-5 years, but Endomines is
convinced that the on-going exploration program
will prolong the lifetime
Focus on gold production in Pampalo Gold Mine
and exploration along the Karelian Gold Line
Extensive exploration program along the Karelian
Gold Line (~€2 million in 2013)
Significant discovery 2011– the new Korvilansuo
gold deposit. 2012-13 drillings returned promising
results
Korvilansuo is the main focus for exploration in
2013
Rämepuro satellite mine 2013 – test mining has
commenced
Hosko satellite mine 2014 – test mining scheduled
for 2014
The Karelian Gold Line – great exploration potential

Pampalo Gold Mine project completed in
December 2010 in line with the budget of
€20 million
Commercial production commenced in
February 2011 on schedule
The processing plant in Pampalo centrally
located to process ore from all the satellites
in the area
Processing capacity increased recently
from 270,000 to 380,000 tonnes/annum to
process ore from other deposits along the
Karelian Gold Line
Currently employing approximately 80 own
and 30 - 50 contractors – 70 percent locals

Pampalo key production figures
• “Hourly utilization” is calculated for all available hours for the period
• “LTIFR” = The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate – calculated as reported lost time injuries resulting in one day/shift or
more off work per 1,000,000 hours worked
• Endomines calculates ”Cash Cost” per ounce figures using the guidance issued by The Gold Institute Production Cost
Standard. Direct mining, ore processing and site administration, and off-site smelting and refining costs are included in
the ”Cash Cost” calculation, but amortization, stock change, reclamation, capital and exploration costs are excluded.
The ”Cash Cost” is calculated per payable ounces.

Several mines have had environmental challenges in
Finland during last years
But not Endomines or Pampalo!
- No cyanide or acid used
- No harmful material in tailings
- No Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) expected
- 100 % percent water recirculation

Required by the lending bank in 2009
Hedge program between 2011 and 2015(6):
Fixed gold price (843 €/oz) for 84 400 oz (2 625
kg) gold
Remaining total 50 400 oz (1 560 kg)
In the beginning of 2012, the gold hedge was partly
reconstructed: 6 000 oz (187 kg) hedged volume
was moved from 2012 to 2016. The hedging price
for the volume moved to 2016 is 796 €/oz
The reason for the hedge roll-over was to release
cash for the capacity expansion investment
The hedge consists of a metal swap that adjusts
the quarter’s average price according to London
Bullion Market to a fixed price

Future strategy for success
1. The Karelian
Gold Line is a
40 km long
gold critical belt
– all controlled
by Endomines
2. Plant capacity increase
project 270,000 t/a ->
380,000 t/a (expected
capacity utilization)
3. The capacity
increase will make
lower grade ores
economically viable
to produce
5.
Aggressive
exploration–
main target
2013
Korvilansuo
6.
Rämepuro
satellite
mine 2013
8. Organic
growth
possible with
projects in
different
development
stages
4. The higher
capacity enables
processing of ore
from all the
Karelian Gold
Line deposits
7. Hosko
satellite
mine
