DEFINITIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY UPDATE - DESIGN PARAMETERS FINALIZED

DEFINITIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY UPDATE - DESIGN PARAMETERS FINALIZED

Nordic Mining has finalized the major test programs for the definitive

feasibility study including process optimization and ore variability testing at

IHC-Robbins in Australia. A repeatability demonstration program confirming that

the flow sheet can be replicated at a different metallurgical facility has also

been completed.

The metallurgical test work programs demonstrate that Nordic Mining is able to

produce rutile and garnet concentrates from the different ore types that meet

strict market requirements.

The test work results support the design parameters which is currently at the

engineering stage. The design parameters drive the detailed mine optimization

and specification of equipment sizing. The mining plan will include a stockpile

strategy for increased resource utilization.

Based on the design parameter, requests for quotations are issued in the market

to firm up the capex estimates in the definitive feasibility study. The major

amounts of requests have been issued over the last months and feedback from

potential equipment suppliers has been good. Requests for quotations for the key

construction contracts will be issued in the near future.

Nordic Mining's CEO, Ivar S. Fossum comments "The test work proved to be more

challenging than initially anticipated, particularly in relation to the

performance of garnet yields and particle size distributions. The Barton Group

has been a solid and supportive partner in enabling successful optimization of

the garnet processing and in demonstrating quality of the products to be

produced from Engebø."
