Talvivaara's corporate reorganization progresses
Reports on the financial status completed
The reports on the financial status of Talvivaara Mining Company Plc (the
"Company" or "Talvivaara") and its operative subsidiary, Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd,
have been completed by the administrator of the corporate reorganization.
According to the administrator, an executable restructuring programme can be set
up for both the Company and for Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd, provided that financing
solutions for an interim period and for the longer term are achieved. As
previously announced, the Companytogether with the administrator continues
active discussions for securing the additional financing and has already entered
into an agreement with Nyrstar Sales and Marketing AG ("Nyrstar") on a loan
facility of up to 20 million euros and, subject to securing the long term
financial solution, an option to enter into a streaming holiday from the zinc
streaming agreement. During the streaming holiday the Company would sell the
zinc concentrate to Nyrstar at market terms, which would have a significant
additional financing impact to Talvivaara.
