Talvivaara Mining Company Plc
Talvivaara Mining Company is 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  estimated  to  support  anticipated  production  for  several decades.
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. Further information can be found
at www.talvivaara.com.




DISCLAIMER

This  announcement is an advertisement and not a prospectus and investors should
not  subscribe for  or purchase  any shares  or securities  referred to  in this
announcement  except on  the basis  of information  in the applicable prospectus
(and  any supplementary prospectus)  published by Talvivaara  in connection with
the  Offering. Copies of the prospectus  (and any supplementary prospectus) are,
or  will  be,  available  from  Talvivaara's  registered office. Nothing in this
announcement should be interpreted as a term or condition of the Offering.

The  information  contained  herein  is  not  for  publication  or distribution,
directly  or indirectly, in  or into the  United States, Canada, Australia, Hong
Kong,  South Africa or Japan. These written materials do not constitute an offer
of  securities for sale in the United  States, nor may the securities be offered
or  sold  in  the  United  States  absent  registration  or  an  exemption  from
registration as provided in the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
rules  and regulations thereunder. There is no intention to register any portion
of  the  offering  in  the  United  States  or  to  conduct a public offering of
securities in the United States.

The  issue,  exercise  or  sale  of  securities  in  the offering are subject to
specific  legal  or  regulatory  restrictions  in certain jurisdictions. None of
Talvivaara  J.P. Morgan Securities  plc, Nordea Bank  Finland Plc, Merrill Lynch
International,  BNP  PARIBAS  and  Danske  Bank  A/S  Helsinki Branch assume any
responsibility  in  the  event  there  is  a  violation  by  any  person of such
restrictions.

The  information contained herein shall  not constitute an offer  to sell or the
solicitation  of an offer to buy, nor shall  there be any sale of the securities
referred to herein in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would  be  unlawful  prior  to  registration,  exemption  from  registration  or
qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Investors must
neither  accept  any  offer  for,  nor  acquire,  any  securities  to which this
announcement refers, unless they do so on the basis of the information contained
in the applicable Prospectus published or distributed by Talvivaara.

Talvivaara  has not  authorised any  offer to  the public  of securities  in any
Member  State of the  European Economic Area  other than Finland  and the United
Kingdom.  With respect to each Member State  of the European Economic Area other
than  Finland and  the United  Kingdom and  which has implemented the Prospectus
Directive  (each, a "Relevant  Member State"), no  action has been undertaken or
will  be  undertaken  to  make  an  offer  to the public of securities requiring
publication  of a  prospectus in  any Relevant  Member State.  As a  result, the
securities may only be offered in Relevant Member States (a) to any legal entity
which  is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive; or (b) in
any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive.
For  the purposes of this  paragraph, the expression an  "offer of securities to
the  public" means the communication in any  form and by any means of sufficient
information  on the terms of the offer and the securities to be offered so as to
enable  an investor to decide to exercise, purchase or subscribe the securities,
as  the same may be varied in that  Member State by any measure implementing the
Prospectus  Directive  in  that  Member  State  and  the  expression "Prospectus
Directive"  means  Directive  2003/71/EC (and  amendments thereto, including the
2010 PD  Amending Directive,  to the  extent implemented  in the Relevant Member
State),  and includes any  relevant implementing measure  in the Relevant Member
State   and   the  expression  "2010  PD  Amending  Directive"  means  Directive
2010/73/EU.

This communication includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
securities  laws  of  certain  applicable  jurisdictions.  These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, all statements other than statements
of   historical  facts  contained  in  this  communication,  including,  without
limitation,  those regarding Talvivaara's strategy, plans, objectives, goals and
targets.  By their nature, forward looking  statements involve known and unknown
risks,  uncertainties and other factors because they relate to events and depend
on  circumstances that may or  may not occur in  the future. Talvivaara cautions
you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
are  based on  numerous assumptions  and that  its actual results of operations,
including its financial condition and liquidity, may differ materially from (and
be  significantly  more  negative  than)  those  made  in,  or suggested by, the
forward-looking  statements contained in this communication. In particular, this
communication includes forward-looking statements relating to Talvivaara's plans
to address the recent operational challenges faced by Talvivaara. Such estimates
are  based on  a number  of assumptions  that are,  in turn,  based on currently
available  information and judgments  based on such  information. However, these
assumptions   are  inherently  uncertain  and  subject  to  a  wide  variety  of
significant  operational and regulatory risks and uncertainties that could cause
the  actual  outcome  of  Talvivaara's  actions  to materially differ from those
anticipated.

No  statement in this announcement is intended  as a profit forecast or a profit
estimate  and no  statement in  this announcement  should be interpreted to mean
that  earnings  per  share  for  the  current  or  future  financial years would
necessarily  match or exceed the historical published earnings per share. Prices
and values of, and income from, shares may go down as well as up and an investor
may  not get back the amount invested.  It should be noted that past performance
is  no guide  to future  performance. Persons  needing advice  should consult an
independent financial adviser.

J.P.  Morgan Securities  plc, which  is authorised  and regulated  in the United
Kingdom  by  the  Financial  Services  Authority,  is acting as sole sponsor for
