Lappland Goldminers AB: The Swedish Government approves the mining concession for the Stortjärnhobben gold project

The Swedish Government has on, December 6, 2007, decided to reject
the appeal by the Vapsten Same village against the Chief Mining
Inspector's decision for a mining concession for Stortjärnhobben in
the Community of Storuman in the County of Västerbotten, Sweden.

With the cabinet decision to reject the appeal by the Vapsten Same
village, a reindeer herding organization, against the Chief Mining
Inspector's decision for a mining concession for Lappland
Guldprospektering AB's gold project at Stortjärnhobben, the Company
has now received a final approval for its second mining concession on
the Gold Line. The strategy of the Company is to build a centrally
located processing plant for gold ores at Fäboliden and to feed the
plant with ores from a larger area. Stortjärnhobben fits perfectly
into this strategy. The Environmental Court's positive decision of
the 21st of December last year, to grant permission for a mine and
processing plant at Fäboliden, means that we now have the basic parts
in place to accomplish the strategy of the Company.

At Stortjärnhobben a 750 m long gold mineralized zone with occasional
high gold grades has earlier been indicated by core drilling. As the
Company has secured an exploitation concession for Stortjärnhobben of
22 ha we are now ready to activate our plans for the project that
entails continued investigation of the gold mineralized zone from
underground positions. This will be done with core drilling in order
to be able to estimate mineral resources. The plans includes
approximately 600 m of ramp access and 3 000 m of core drilling
totalling some 35 drill holes in 8 to 10 profiles with fan drilling.
Some mineral samples will also be extracted for additional
metallurgical tests for gold extraction. The Company will now proceed
with procurements of the contracts needed and applications for
necessary permits. The Company estimates that the planned activities
will be sufficient to achieve the geological and metallurgical
information necessary for a feasibility study of the area in
question, says Karl-Åke Johansson, CEO.
