Talvivaara Mining Company Plc
Talvivaara  Mining Company  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 agreement 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.
