Kivimaa

The deposit Kivimaa 50 km southwest of Rovaniemi.

Endomines’ project Kivimaa is in an initial stage. Historical exploration efforts show that there are gold indications in bedrock as well as geochemical anomalies and ore boulders in the area. Outokumpu’s exploration in 1960s resulted a discovery of 350 m long and 1-6 m wide auriferous quartz-carbonate vein system which has an unknown depth. In the year 1969 Outokumpu carried out a test mining of 18 600 t with 2,0 g gold/t and 1,2 per cent copper.

The deposit Kivimaa is an orogenic copper-gold mineralisation tied to a quartz-carbonate vein with the surrounding alteration zone in east-western fault in diabase. Gold exists in separate grains and inclusions in arsenopyrite. The recognised drilled mineralisation reaches to 60 m’s depth.

In September 2007 Endomines drilled 5 new diamond holes close to the old mine. Two holes intersected the ore vein and all holes had anomalous gold contents. The best intersection was 6,6 metres grading 1,75 % copper and 0,75 g/t gold. Deposit is relatively poorly explored and open to east, west and to depth.

Claims and Planned Future Works

Endomines has claims for over 60 hectares in Kivimaa area and has applied for further claims over 150 hectares. The claims cover geologically the most interesting areas. The compiled historical data shows that there might be further mineralised objects in the Company’s claim areas. These will be studied with geochemical sampling. Kivimaa deposit’s extensions will be studied by core drilling.
