The press release including tables and pictures can be downloaded from the following link: Press release (PDF) * 12,9 gram gold/ton (22,4 metres in core from hole T-522) * 23,6 gram gold/ton (7,1 metres in core from hole T-492) * 14,2 gram gold/ton (1,3 metres in core from hole T-514) * 12,5 gram gold/ton (1,5 metres in core from hole T-500) (core section's length and drillhole notes in parentheses) Endomines has continued the core drilling programme, which was started in February 2008, from the new ramp towards the deeper parts of the deposit Pampalo. The aim of the continued drilling has mainly been to increase the indicated mineral resources even more. The earlier drilling results were presented in press releases on the 16th June, 25th August and 11th November 2008. Cross-section of the auriferous zones in Pampalo deposit showing the target area for drilling in 2008. Ore zone is brown and yellow. The drilled holes are black. The red lines indicate the analysed gold contents. The core drilling was carried out from the new ramp, and the auriferous zones were met at the levels -360 metres and -550 metres. Mainly the distance between the drilled holes is approximately 20 metres. Auriferous zones were found almost in every drillhole. In some drillholes the mineralised core sections had significant widths and gold contents: up to over 22 metres and almost 13 grammes gold per ton (see the table below). The actual width of the mineralisation is, however, longer and depends e.g. on the drillhole direction and dip. Table 1. The gold contents in mineralised core sections and other drillhole information of the latest holes in Pampalo deposit. * *The drilled holes have core diameter of 61,7 mm. The cores are divided in two equally big parts all the way with a rock saw. The other half is sent to assay and the other goes to archives for later usage. An independent laboratory company Labtium Ab from Finland, accredited according to TO25/M14/2007 of FINAS, has carried out the assay and sample preparation. 50 g FA + AAS method, Labtium code 705A, was used as the assay method. Esa Sandberg, SveMin/FAERI's qualified person, has supervised all the used working phases described on this press release. He is employed by Endomines but does not own any shares of the Company."The completed results of the drill campaign from the year 2008 in the deposit Pampalo show that there are very high gold contents in deeper parts of the deposit which is comparible with the earlier test mining of 114 372 tonnes ore with the average gold content of 15,3 grammes per ton. These areas with high gold contents in the deeper parts of the deposit Pampalo will be a good contribution for the profitability of the planned mining", says Timo Lindborg, CEO of Endomines AB. The information in this press release is based on the assay results from the independent accredited laboratory Labtium Ab. Endomines' chief geologist Jaakko Liikanen has compiled the tables and information in this press release. Jaakko Liikanen owns shares in Endomines AB and is authorised as "Qualified Person" of SveMin and FAERI.

The Company owns mining permits or claims over all the known 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 focuses 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 they are accepted by the European Union which increases the possibilities to compare the Company with foreign prospecting and mining companies.
