Erris Resources plc
(‘Erris Resources’ or the ‘Company’)
New Gold Project, Enåsen, Sweden

Erris Resources plc, the European focused mineral exploration company with a portfolio of zinc
prospects in Ireland and gold projects in Sweden, is pleased to announce that it has been granted a new
100% owned gold exploration permit, Enåsen no.5 (the “Enåsen Project”), in central Sweden.

Overview
● Targeting mineralisation on major structure around historic high grade mine
● Licence surrounds the historic Enåsen mine, that produced 1.7 Mt at 3 g/t gold from 1984 to
1991.
● Initial reconnaissance mapping and sampling to start shortly
● Grant of 59.4km2 licence, the Enåsen Project, in a region of central Sweden considered highly
prospective for gold
● Licence complements existing Swedish 100% owned Nordgruvan Project that lies outside of the
defined area of interest under the strategic association with Canadian mining company Centerra
Gold

Erris Resources CEO, Merlin Marr-Johnson, said, “We are delighted to have been awarded the Enåsen
exploration licence in central Sweden, which surrounds the historic Enåsen open pit gold mine.
Discovered in the 1980s, the Enåsen mine is one of the few gold-only mines in the country - typically gold
from Sweden is produced as a by-product from the mining of massive sulphide deposits. The Enåsen
Project encompasses the area surrounding the mine and is largely underexplored, covering an area we
believe is a prospective geological setting. The Company is now starting the first phase reconnaissance
programme of mapping and sampling at the Enåsen Project.

“The addition of the Enåsen Project to our existing portfolio of projects is in line with our stated objective
of identifying low-cost opportunities with the potential to create shareholder value. Work is ramping up
across this portfolio; we are currently drilling the Abbeytown zinc project in Ireland and working on a
portfolio of projects in Sweden funded by Centerra Gold. I look forward to updating shareholders on
progress in due course.”

Enåsen, Gävleborgs and Västernorrland, Sweden

The 54.9 km2 Enåsen licence no.5 is in an area situated approximately 370 km north of Stockholm and 50
km west of Sundsvall, in central Sweden.

Geological Survey of Sweden (‘SGU’) reports and geophysical data indicates the host geology of the area
to comprise a belt of volcanics trending northwest on a sub-parallel major gravity break and terrane
boundary. The surrounding geology is composed of sediments and granitoids.

The Enåsen deposit is reported to be a metamorphosed high-sulphidation deposit (Hallberg, 1994). The
mineralisation is characterised by disseminated chalcopyrite and gold in a topaz-bearing quartz-
sillimanite gneiss hosted by quartz-feldspar and quartz-mica gneisses. Open pit mining at Enåsen started
in 1984, followed by underground mining in 1989. Total production in open pit and underground
workings until the closure of the mine in 1991 was 1.7 Mt at a grade of 3 g/t gold. A 1 km exploration
permit buffer exists around the granted exploitation permit.

The licence is held wholly by Erris Resources and is not part of the joint venture that Erris Resources has
in the Skellefteå mining district with Centerra Gold KB Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold
Inc. a TSX listed gold and copper producer.

Erris Resources has integrated historic data sets and carried out a new interpretation of the regional
aeromagnetic data across central and southern Sweden, the results of which were a key driver for
acquiring the new licence areas. A further desktop structural interpretation is underway and will be
supplemented by new multi-element data from reconnaissance mapping and sampling in the
forthcoming field season.
