AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Annual General Meeting of Talvivaara Mining Company Plc

We  were engaged to audit the  accounting records, the financial statements, the
report  of the  Board of  Directors and  the administration of Talvivaara Mining
Company   Plc  for  the  period  1 January  -  31 December  2015. The  financial
statements  comprise the statement of  financial position, the income statement,
the  statement of changes  in equity, the  cash flow statement  and notes to the
financial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The  Board  of  Directors  and  the  Managing  Director  are responsible for the
preparation  of financial statements  and report of  the Board of Directors that
give  a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing
the  preparation of  the financial  statements and  the report  of the  Board of
Directors  in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the appropriate
arrangement  of  the  control  of  the  company's accounts and finances, and the
Managing  Director  shall  see  to  it  that  the accounts of the company are in
compliance  with the law and that its  financial affairs have been arranged in a
reliable manner.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our  responsibility is to express an opinion  on the financial statements and on
the report of the Board of Directors based on conducting the audit in accordance
with good auditing practice in Finland. The Auditing Act requires that we comply
with the requirements of professional ethics. Because of the matter described in
the  Basis for  Disclaimer of  Opinion paragraph,  however, we  were not able to
obtain  sufficient appropriate  audit evidence  to provide  a basis for an audit
opinion.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

As  described in the report  of the Board of  Directors in paragraph "Provisions
and  other items recognised based on restructuring programme", Talvivaara Mining
Company  Plc recorded a  provision of EUR  203.4 million in year 2014, which was
the full amount of its guarantee liability.

As  described in  the same  paragraph, Talvivaara  Mining Company Plc decided to
leave  the provision on the  balance sheet in 2015, even  if there are facts and
circumstances  which  may  lead  to  the  unrecognition  of the provision in the
future. Reasons for possible unrecognition of the provision are discussed in the
paragraph.

We  were not able  to verify the  existence or nonexistence  or the value of the
liability originating from the guarantee.

Disclaimer of Opinion

Because  of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer
of  Opinion paragraph,  we have  not been  able to obtain sufficient appropriate
audit  evidence to provide a basis for  an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not
express  an opinion on the  financial statements and the  report of the Board of
Directors.
