Lappland Goldminers AB - Gold production starts at Blaiken

The Board of Directors of Lappland Goldminers has decided to start
the gold production at the mine and process plant at Blaiken. The
production that has been under preparation for a time will start
immediately. The production will initially employ appr. 50 persons.


The Company acquired  the operations  at the  Ersmarksberget mine  in
Blaiken in August 2008  from the bankruptcy  estate of Scanmining  AB
and Blaikengruvan  AB  including  the gold  deposit  and  surrounding
exploration permits. The deposit  is located along  the Gold Line  in
Lappland. The area around the Blaiken processing plant is looked upon
by the  Company as  highly interesting  for finding  additional  gold
deposits, with a potential  for starting new mines  where the ore  is
transported to and processed in the processing plant.
