  • Annual Report 2013 on Nordic Mining's Mineral Deposits
    ANNUAL REPORT 2013 ON NORDIC MINING’S MINERAL DEPOSITS; EXPLORATION RESULTS, MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVES Introduction The Nordic Mining ASA Group's (“Nordic Mining” or “the Group”) operations currently comprise the following main subsidiaries and associated companies with its respective mineral projects: 1. Nordic Rutile AS (100%): Engebøfjellet rutile deposit (titanium dioxide) in Naustdal municipality in Norway 2. Nordic Quartz AS (100%): Kvinnherad quartz deposit (quartz) in Kvinnherad municipality in Norway 3. Nordic Mining ASA (100%): Exploration project at Reinfjord on the Øksfjord peninsula in Kvænangen municipality in Norway (nickel, copper, cobalt and palladium-platinum-gold) 4. Keliber Oy (38%): Spodumene pegmatite deposits (lithium) in the Ostrobothnia region in Finland 5. Nordic Mining ASA (100%): Other exploration rights (100%) This report (the "Report") sets out the details of the Group's exploration results/prospects, mineral resources and, where applicable, ore reserves in relation to its mineral projects. Gudvangen Stein AS which was reported in the 2012 annual report with its anorthosite deposit was divested in June 2013. This Report is updated per 28 October 2013. On an annual basis, Nordic Mining issues an updated report on its mineral projects. Reports/sources of information referred in this Report are available at Nordic Mining’s webpage www.nordicmining.com. In section 1 (Nordic Rutile AS - Engebø rutile deposit in Norway) and section 4 (Keliber Oy - lithium in the Ostrobothnia region in Finland) the classification of mineral deposits is based on the JORC Code reporting standard 1). The JORC Code differentiates between three different resource classes: inferred, indicated and measured, depending on the level of geological knowledge and confidence.

Industrial quality quartz occurs in both pegmatites, hydrothermal veins and quartzites. The Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) has been active in locating and investigating most of the known depos- its; in recent years dedicated surveys and sampling of various quartz resource types have been under- taken throughout the country. QUARTZ IN PEGMATITES Pegmatites often contain very pure quartz and in Norway quartz has been produced periodically in two main provinces: The Drag area close to Narvik in Northern Norway and in Setesdal and surround- ing areas in Southernmost Norway. Currently only very minor production takes place in South Norway, but in Drag the company The Quartz Corp extracts and processes both local and imported high purity quartz. The Quartz Corp also exploits a hydrothermal vein in Svanvik close to the Russian border. Recently NGU-surveys have located pegmatites on the South- west coast of Norway with interesting qualities of high purity quartz. WWW.NGU.NO HYDROTHERMAL QUARTZ VEINS Large hydrothermal quartz veins are present both north and south in the country and some have been in production for silicon metal, silicon carbide and ferrosilicon.
