Comments from CEO

Dear shareholders,

The fourth quarter of 2013 revealed initial timid signs of stabilization in the mining financial market. Most pessimistic forecasts over gold price falling below USD 1,000 per ounce did not materialize. Most producing companies managed to take the hit of lower gold prices and reduced production costs, optimized capital expenditures and put risky development projects on hold. The industry proved that it could sustain and survive in lower gold price environment.

We proceed to implement our strategy based on the following principles: focus, cost savings, JV-cooperation and minimize exploration expenditures on a short term basis and get into production.

Focus. In addition to the termination of 2 licenses in August 2013, we divested the two licenses Prodolny and Kavkaz projects for cash. The deal was signed in December 2013 for the total sales price of 50 million Russian Rubles (corresponding to approximately SEK 10 million). 10% of the sales price was received upon signing the sale-purchase agreement in December and the rest of 90% was received in February 2014. This transaction strengthened our cash balance for 2014. The new owner is interested to develop gold production from the Kavkaz deposit and to continue with exploration within the Prodolny license. In addition to the sale of Kavkaz and Prodolny, we proceed with the discussions over sale of the Kopylovskoye property where we see some interest.

Cost saving. We proceed with sale of exploration equipment and machinery that turns idle due to reduced exploration activities. During Q4, we received SEK 2.4 million from sale of equipment. We reduced the number of employees in Bodaibo to only a few key members to develop our projects forward. Despite the reduction of exploration program, we managed to maintain good relations with main contractors for the future.

Production. In November 2013, we signed a Term sheet agreement for development of the Krasny project with GV Gold as a future joint venture partner. The terms of the deal are beneficial for our company as we are getting a strong production partner with solid experience in gold mining. GV Gold is a Russian gold mining company with operations in the regions of Bodaibo and Yakutia where it produced totally 175 koz (5,458 kg) in 2013. When the deal is signed, we shall receive USD 1 million as a cash payment and USD 6 million to finalize gold explorations on Krasny into reserves. GV Gold will receive a 51% stake in the project. Upon a successful reserve report, we shall receive an additional payment of USD 2 million. The project is targeting production in the end of 2016. At the moment, we finalize and negotiate terms of the Shareholders agreement.

Exploration expenditures. Upon closure of the Krasny deal, our own exploration spending for the Krasny project will be reduced to a minimum since the in-field operations will be financed by the partner. Following our participation in the recent Mines & Money and PDAC fairs, we note that the interest for exploration activities is slowly coming back. We currently look for a partner to develop our Northern Territory project in Bodaibo as a joint venture.

Overall, we believe that the mining financial market has passed the bottom and the investor interest for gold mining projects is slowly coming back. With a diversified portfolio of projects, we are well positioned for a market growth and we review opportunities in the market for M&A transactions.

With kind regards,
Mikhail Damrin, CEO
