Pursuant  to  the  proposal  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  own shares shall be
repurchased in proportion other than that of holdings of the shareholders and by
using  the non-restricted  equity. The  shares shall  be acquired through public
trading at the share price prevailing at the time of acquisition.

Company  or to  finance or  carry out  future acquisitions, investments or other
arrangements  related  to  the  Company's  business  or as part of the Company's
incentive  programs. The authorisation shall also  include the right to take the

Company.  Own shares  repurchased by  the Company  may be retained, cancelled or
conveyed.

The  repurchase authorisation is proposed to be valid until 27 October 2012. The

maximum  total of  5,500,000 new shares  in the  Company or  to receive existing
shares held by the Company.

The  share subscription price will be based on the trade volume weighted average
quotation  of the Talvivaara Mining Company Plc share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd
in  March 2011, 2012 and 2013. The  share subscription period  for stock options
2011A, will  be 1 April  2014 - 31 March  2016, for stock options 2011B, 1 April
