Nordic Mines’ gold project in Laiva in Finland will be profitable even at gold prices far below present levels, according to the feasibility study that has just been finalized. The study has been assessed and approved by the independent consultancy group Hatch, which has been assigned by Standard Bank.
The ore reserves, i.e. the planned production of ore used in the feasibility study, amounts to 11.7 million tons. This means that Laiva near Raahe in central Finland is one of the biggest gold deposits in the Nordic region. Production is expected to start during the second quarter 2011.
The approval means that the study meets the requirements of a definitive feasibility study, which is the quality demanded for project financing. The full study can be found at the website, www.nordicmines.se
As part of the financing of Laiva, the independent consultancy group Hatch has been assigned by Standard Bank to carry out a thorough review of the feasibility study for the project. Based on the results, Roger F Price, Director of Hatch Associates Limited, has signed off on the study.

In November 2009, Nordic Mines was granted environmental permission for its planned gold mine at Laiva in Finland, one of the biggest gold deposits ever discovered in the Nordic region. This means that the building of infrastructure could be initiated, while the financing of the project was intensified. The financing includes a share issue, which was carried out at the beginning of 2010.

Results from the exploration 2009 in connection with the main mineralization in Laiva
Nordic Mines has been granted an environmental permit for the gold deposit in Laiva. The permits are now in place for one of the biggest gold deposits in the Nordic region.
The exploration company Nordic Mines AB has on November 24, 2009 been granted environmental permission by the Finnish Environmental permit authorities regarding the company’s planned gold mine in Laiva, Finland. This means that the construction of infrastructure in the area can be stepped up, while negotiations concerning the financing of the project are finalized.
