The press release including tables can be downloaded from the following link: Press release (PDF) * Rämepuro: - Indicated mineral resources: 162 000 t with 4,3 grams gold per tonne (23 000 oz gold). - Inferred mineral resources: 61 000 t with 4,1 grams gold per tonne (8 000 oz gold). * Muurinsuo: - Indicated mineral resources: 197 000 t with 2,6 grams gold per tonne (17 000 oz gold). - Inferred mineral resources: 787 000 t with 1,5 grams gold per tonne (38 000 oz gold). The new estimations of mineral resources in the gold deposits Rämepuro and Muurinsuo have been carried out by the independent Australian consult company Runge Limited. As a result of the core drilling, the gold grades have increased in both deposits (table 1). Both Rämepuro and Muurinsuo are connected to the Karelian Gold Line and are situated south of the planned refinery at the mine Pampalo (figure 1). Table 1. Mineral resources in Rämepuro and Muurinsuo*. *The estimations made according to the JORC code have been carried out by Runge Ltd. The responsible qualified person has been geologist Philippe A. Baudry. He does not own any shares of Endomines AB. So far none of the mineralisations have been delimited with the drilling, and that is why there are good chances of increasing the mineral resources even more. It is also positive that the gold grades in the deposit Muurinsuo seem to increase downwards and at the same time are accessible with open pit mining (figure 2). The made mineral resource estimations will be the basis for a study of conditions for mining covering both of the deposits. This will include mine planning, ore reserve estimation, and economical calculations among others. The aim is that the deposits Rämepuro and Muurinsuo as well as a number of other satellite deposits along the Karelian Gold Line will be mined and with that the ore reserves will increase in the area reserved for the planned refinery at the Pampalo mine. Figure 1. The Karelian Gold Line and the locations of the mine Pampalo as well as the possible satellite deposits. Figure 2. Longitudinal section of the deposit Rämepuro shows gold grades down to 140 metres depth. Figure 3. Longitudinal section of the deposit Muurinsuo shows gold grades down to 100 metres depth."The core drilling has resulted higher gold grades and considerably greater knowledge among both of the mineralisations. The deposit Rämepuro lies in an already claimed area, and now we will also apply for a mining license for the deposit Muurinsuo. In addition, we have also planned applying for environmental permits for both of the deposits. The planned works aims at updating the mineral resources to ore reserves which then could be mined as open pits and transported to the planned plant in Pampalo", says CEO of Endomines, Timo Lindborg. The information in this press release is based on analysis results from the independent accredited laboratory Labtium Ab, and the mineral resource calculations have been carried out by the Australian independent company Runge Ltd. Endomines's technical chief Jaakko Liikanen has compiled the tables and information in this press release.

The Company owns mining permits or claims over all the recognised gold deposits along the Karelian Gold Line, Pampalo mine, among others, wherein the Company aims at starting the operation in 2010. In addition, Endomines has claims for more gold deposits in Finnish Lapland. Besides gold, the Company is focusing on industrial mineral ilmenite which seems to have stable demand growth and price development. These ilmenite deposits exist in central Ostrobothnia. Endomines applies SveMin's and FAERI's common reporting rules for public mining and exploration companies. Endomines has decided to show the mineral resources according to the internationally accepted JORC or NI 43101 code. Endomines applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as the reporting standards for account principles and annual accounts practice. The use of IFRS helps to compare the Company with foreign exploration and mining companies. Read more about Endomines' press releases from http://www.endomines.com/news.php
