About 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 signed 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.
