Endomines enters into agreement to sell Kalvinit Oy together with its ilmenite deposits to Cove Resources Ltd.


Endomines AB (publ) ("Endomines") has on 5 July 2012 entered into an agreement
with the Australian company Cove Resources Ltd. ("Cove Resources"), whereby
Endomines agrees to sell all of the shares in its wholly owned subsidiary
Kalvinit Oy ("Kalvinit") to Cove Resources, if Cove Resources finds the results
of a feasibility study to be performed by Cove Resources before 15 April 2013
satisfactory. Kalvinit is focused on the development of industrial mineral
ilmenite deposits and holds certain exploration rights to ilmenite deposits in
the Kälviä area in Finland.

If Cove Resources proceeds with the acquisition after completion of the
feasibility study, Cove Resources will pay a total purchase price of EUR
3,000,000 in cash for the shares in Kalvinit, plus a royalty of 2 per cent of
the Net Smelter Return of produced and sold minerals from the deposits held by
Kalvinit. The maximum amount of royalty payable under the agreement is EUR
7,000,000. Of the initial purchase price of EUR 3,000,000, a non-refundable
amount of EUR 150,000 is paid in connection with signing of the transaction
agreement. A further EUR 850,000 will be paid upon completion of the
transaction, and the remainder of the purchase price will be paid in two
installments, on 15 January 2014 and on 15 October 2014.

Prior to completion of the transaction, Cove Resources will conduct a customary
feasibility study of the ilmenite deposits held by Kalvinit. The feasibility
study shall be completed no later than 15 April 2013. Completion of the
transaction is conditional on the results of the feasibility study being
satisfactory to Cove Resources.

Kalvinit's limestone and copper assets in Kuovila and Rähväkkö are not included
in the transaction and will be transferred to Endomines or a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Endomines prior to completion. Endomines has issued customary
representations and warranties regarding Kalvinit to Cove Resources in the
transaction agreement. Provided that the results of the feasibility study by
Cove Resources are satisfactory to the purchaser, the transaction is expected to
close in Q2 2013.

Karl-Axel Waplan, Chairman of the Board of Endomines, comments: “We are very
pleased to have entered this agreement with Cove Resources and that we now have
a good long-term solution for the ilmenite deposits. This agreement ensures that
we are compensated for our earlier investments in Kalvinit, and shall have a
further return on our investment once production of ilmenite begins.
Furthermore, this transaction now allows Endomines to focus on the development
of the Pampalo Gold Mine as well as our other deposits along the Karelian Gold
Line”, continues Karl-Axel Waplan.
