KITTILÄ MINE
HISTORY
Discovered in 1986 by GTK;
April 1998, Riddarhyttan become owner after public tendering;
Between 1999 to 2005, more than 136,000 metres Exploration Drilling Program to investigate main Suurikuusikko auriferous structure;
In 1999, Engineering studies are initiated to determine the Feasibility of a mining project;
In 2000, Excavation of the first Test Pit to obtain material required for further processing tests;

KITTILÄ MINE
HISTORY
In 2002, Riddarhyttan was granted an environmental permit for mining (open pit and underground) at Suurikuusikko;
In 2003, Riddarhyttan was granted a mining permit and concession over Suurikuusikko deposit;
In 2004, Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited became Riddarhyttan’s shareholder
From 2004 to 2005, resources increased from 2.0 Moz Gold to 3.7 Moz Gold
In 2005, additional engineering studies were initiated to complete a Feasibility Study on the project. Agnico-Eagle announced the successful closing of a share exchange offer to acquire the remainder of the shares of Riddarhyttan;

FEASIBILITY STRATEGY
Accelerate development of open pitable reserves
Access higher grade ore production in earlier years
Provide underground access for initial exploration & phased in production
Initial contract mining & underground development
Maximize local resources & infrastructure
Minimize capital cost at beginning of production due to high mill capital costs
Increase profitability of overall project by deferring underground mine development
Underground mine production phased in over three years
Conservative approach with respect to metallurgy and environment

The Suurikuusikko and the Rouravaara pits will be excavated using 5 meter bench height to minimize mining dilution
A Triple-Benching configuration will be used incorporating 7.7 metre safety berm - increasing worker safety and pit slope stability
All final walls will be pre-sheared increasing safety and wall stability
