IMPROVED CONDITIONS FOR THE TEKES-LOAN CONCERNING PROJECT-TIME AND SCHEDULE

TEKES - the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovations, has changed its
decision for the development loan, so that total project-financing
should be secured latest June 30th 2016. Final report shall be made not
later than March 30th 2018. The project\'s interim reporting has also
been adapted to this new timetable. Otherwise, the terms and conditions
are not subject to change.


Argument for changed conditions was that a new schedule should improve
the conditions for an overall funding and the ability to implement the
project according to plan.

The project belongs to TEKES - Green Mining Programme for intelligent
and minimum-impact mines. The main objective of the Green Mining
Programme is to make Finland a global leader of sustainable mineral
industry by year 2020. The programme aims to achieve a world leading
position in research areas such as 1) Intelligent and minimum-impact
mines and 2) New mineral resources.

TEKES is the most important publicly funded expert organisation for
financing research, development and innovation in Finland. TEKES boosts
a wide range of innovation activities in research communities, industry
and service sectors.

\"I am very pleased that TEKES made this decision concerning € 9.4
million development loan. The original schedule was demanding. Progress
has been made in the financing negotiations and we believe that the
Silver Mine project in its entirety can be arranged according to the new
timetable \" comments Dr Timo Lindborg, CEO.
