The Pampalo Gold Mine, located in Eastern Finland, is currently under commission by Endomines AB's fully owned subsidiary Endomines Oy. The JORC-compliant report was prepared by Outotec Oyj, a leading global provider of process solutions, technologies and services for the mining and metallurgical industries. The data includes results from the recently completed infill drilling campaign from the Pampalo underground mine. The key purpose of this campaign was aimed at delineating the intended production area for the initial three to four years of production, rather than to assessing the full potential of the Pampalo Gold deposit. Deep extensions of the Pampalo deposit will be explored in due course over the coming years. A summary report will be filed on the company's web site before the end of October. The summary table of the Pampalo Gold Mine reserves (excluding resources and reserves on the other deposits along Karelian Gold Line) as of Sept 27, 2010, is as follows: "We are delighted by the results of the recent infill drilling campaign. The increase of the mineable reserve tonnes at Pampalo Gold Mine by 50 % will add almost two years to the Pampalo Gold mine production plan. The increase is mainly due to lower cut-off grade as the gold price has increased from the time when previous estimate was prepared. With this increase and today's strong gold price the Pampalo Gold Project is even more robust than before. The resources and reserves of other deposits located on the Karelian Gold line are also due to be updated in due course", comments Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines. "Pampalo Project is on schedule and costs are in line with our budget. Small overruns are due to improved quality of some critical areas", Ekberg continues. During spring 2010 Endomines undertook an important underground infill drilling program with a view to delineate its ore reserves and resources at Pampalo Gold Mine. In all, 43 drill holes totaling 2727 meters were drilled on the known resources and reserve area at Pampalo. Normal QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) procedures were followed for all the samples. The quality of sample preparation, security, integrity and chemical assays was equal to or exceeded current industrial standards and the requirements of JORC-code.

Only measured and iindicated resources were converted to mining reserve. With the recent update the total reserve of the Karelian Gold Line has increased to 1.9 Mt with an average gold grade of 3.5 g/t containing 6 725 kg, 217 500 ounces gold (previous resources estimate 1.4 Mt @ 4.5 g/t; containing 6 175 kg, 198 500 ounces). The management of Endomines intends to pursue exploration on all significant mineralized structures to further define and increase the resources and reserves along the Karelian Gold Line. The resource and reserve estimate was prepared by Mr Markku Meriläinen (MSc, Geology, MAusIMM) and Mr Pekka Lovén, (MSc, Mining Engineering, MAusIMM), both Competent Persons in accordance with the JORC-code, and employed by Outotec (Finland) Oyj. Meriläinen and Lovén are not associated in any manner with Endomines AB or any of its subsidiaries.
