PRESS RELEASE January 24, 2013

rights issue shows that 252,201,683 shares, representing approximately 98.5 per
cent of the offered shares, were subscribed for through the exercise of
subscription rights. In addition, subscription forms corresponding to
approximately 94.2 million shares have been received for subscription without
the exercise of subscription rights. Thus, the rights issue is fully subscribed

have been allotted to persons that have subscribed for shares without the
exercise of subscription rights, in accordance with the principles set forth in

approximately SEK 282 million (including set-off amount) before transaction
related costs. Payment for a total of 47,250,000 shares, which were subscribed
for through the exercise of subscription rights by Property Dynamics AB (owned
by the chairman of the Company Lennart Schönning) and Eldorado Gold Cooperatief
U.A. were done by way of set-off against existing interest bearing debts. Nordic
Mines debt has been reduced by approximately SEK 52 million due to this.
Only those who are allotted shares will be notified, which is expected on or
around January 29, 2013. Payment for shares subscribed for without the exercise
of subscription rights shall be made in cash in accordance with the instructions
on the contract note within three banking days from the date when the subscriber
was notified of allotment.

255,912,714 to SEK 341,216,952. The number of shares increases by 255,912,714 to
