As the Pampalo mine has progressively been deepened, the conditions for the production at Pampalo mine have become more challenging. Previously interpreted larger ore lenses have been observed to be broken up into smaller lenses.
The company commenced infill drilling at its Hosko deposit in late 2014 immediately once financing was secured. The recent drilling has not been able to confirm the extent of the previously identified high grade part of the deposit. The recent drilling has also delineated grade distribution within the deposit more closely. As earlier announced the Hosko mineral resources and ore reserves have decreased materially.
"Early 2014 we made a decision to reduce our exploration spending and implement other cost-reduction measures. The total ore reserves have thus been reduced during 2014 and we face a challenge to increase our reserve and resource base", comments Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines.
This statement has been controlled by Eurogeologist, MSc (Geol) Markus Ekberg acting as a Qualified Person in compliance with Fennoscandian Review Board -standards. Markus Ekberg is employed by Endomines as Chief Executive Officer and owns 180 000 shares in Endomines.

Endomines conducts exploration and mining business along the 40 kilometer long Karelian Gold Line. Through various regulatory approvals, Endomines controls the exploration rights to this entire area.
The Company's first mine, Pampalo, started in February 2011. During 2014, Endomines initiated the production of ore from the mine in Rämepuro and is planning to start mining of the gold deposit in Hosko. The ore from satellite mines will be processed in the centrally located mill at Pampalo
The Company's business practices and mining operations are based on sustainable principles and on minimizing the impact on the environment.
Endomines applies SveMin's & FinnMin's respective rules for reporting for public mining & exploration companies. The Company has chosen to report mineral resources and ore reserves according to the JORC-code, which is the internationally accepted Australasian code for reporting ore reserves and mineral resources.
Endomines vision is to participate in the future structural transformation and consolidation of the Nordic mining industry. The Company may therefore be involved in acquisitions of interesting deposits or companies, should such opportunities arise.
