    Materials handling processes commence at Talvivaara

16 July 2008
 
Talvivaara Mining Company Plc (*Talvivaara* or the *Company*) is pleased to announce that the ramp-up of the materials handling processes at
the Talvivaara mine has commenced on schedule at the beginning of July 2008.
 
On 1 July 2008 the Company contracted primary crushing, and by 16 July 2008 secondary and tertiary crushing, agglomeration and provisional
stacking arrangements were operational. Bioheapleaching has also commenced with inoculation and irrigation of the starter heap.
 
Talvivaara*s stacking equipment is anticipated to be operational by the end of July 2008. Meanwhile, temporary arrangements have been made
for stacking in order to keep the overall schedule of the project intact, with the aim of producing the first nickel and zinc sulphides in
October 2008. The arrangement will not have a material effect on operating costs. The scheduled delivery of Talvivaara*s own primary crusher
is expected in December, as previously announced.
 
Talvivaara*s CEO, Pekka Percomments: *Reaching this significant milestone on schedule is the result of excellent cooperation between
Talvivaara and its contractors. I therefore extend my thanks to both our own and the contractors* teams who have worked tirelessly over the
last weeks and months and postponed their well-earned summer vacations in order to reach this goal. Although the milestone reached is
extremely important, the hard work continues with commissioning the rest of the materials handling equipment and erecting and commissioning
the metals recovery plant.*
