The Group Transformation from exploration to gold mining Ilmenite deposits Summary and plans for future
History of Pampalo and Endomines Pampalo discovery 1990 by GSF – sold to Outokumpu Outokumpu started intensive exploration and test mining at Pampalo 1995 Surface drilling, open pit test mining Underground drilling, decline, test mining
Totally 115 000 tonnes at 15.5 g/t mined and processed at Pyhäsalmi and Vammala plants Mining and processing tested – low risk!
Cost of drilling (55 000 meters) and drifting (3 500 meters) 10 M€ Financed by test mining revenues at low gold prices
Outokumpu ceased activities in November 1999 due to low gold price and strategic decision to withdraw from mining business Pampalo acquired by Dragon Mining NL (Australia) Pampalo acquired by Endomines at favourable terms 2006 Endomines has actively explored since 1996 north of Pampalo 12
