About Talvivaara Mining Company Plc.

Talvivaara is a Finnish mining company operating a large open pit nickel mine in Sotkamo, Finland. Talvivaara aims to become an internationally significant base metals producer with its primary focus on nickel and zinc using a technology known as bioheapleaching to extract metals out of ore. Bioheapleaching makes extraction of metals from low grade ore economically viable. The Talvivaara deposits comprise one of the largest known sulphide nickel resources in Europe. The ore body is sufficient to support anticipated production for at least 46 years. Talvivaara has secured a 10-year off-take agreement for 100 per cent of its main output of nickel and cobalt to Norilsk Nickel and entered into a long term zinc streaming arrangement with Nyrstar NV. Talvivaara is listed on the London Stock Exchange Main Market and Nasdaq OMX Helsinki and is included in the FTSE 250 Index. Further information can be found at www.talvivaara.com.
