The consideration of charges relating to Talvivaara's gypsum pond leakage and
discharges into water ways has been completed

The consideration of charges, which related to Talvivaara Mining Company Plc's
("Talvivaara" or the "Company") operating subsidiary Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd's
("Talvivaara Sotkamo") gypsum pond leakages of November 2012 and April 2013 and
the sodium, sulphate and manganese discharges that exceeded the anticipated
amounts stated in the original environmental permit application of the mine, has
been completed.

According to the information obtained by the Company, the prosecutor has decided
not to bring charges against thirteen specialists and members of the middle
management that were heard as suspects. The prosecutor has decided to bring
charges against four members of Talvivaara's management, including CEO Pekka
Perä and former CEO Harri Natunen. The charges concern aggravated impairment of
the environment. The prosecutor also requests a corporate fine imposed on
Talvivaara Sotkamo and compensation for the benefit obtained by the alleged
crime.

The Company has previously stated that, in its view, no crime has been
committed. The now completed pre-trial investigation and consideration of
charges have given the Company no reason to change its view, and the Company
does not share the prosecutor's view of the threshold for charges having been
met. The Company welcomes, however, the opportunity to have the facts relating
to the matter as well as the then-current operating conditions of the Company
discussed in an open court.
