Kaunisvaara Concentrate –

Quality Leader

Northland

Low silica and alumina content lead to

lower flux additions, less slag and

lower energy consumption

Page 22: pptKarl-AxelWaplan

Phase 2 of our Growth Strategy –

Pellivuoma

22

Located approximately 15 km west of Kaunisvaara

The deposit has the potential to make a significant contribution

to the resource tonnage of the Kaunisvaara area

Potential scenarios include an increase in the production of high grade

concentrate, or an extension of the life of the Kaunisvaara operation in combination

with an increase in production

Definitive Feasibility Study is underway and is expected to be completed early 2013

Phase 2 of our Growth Strategy –

Hannukainen

23

Brownfield project located in Northern Finland

Open pit mine operated by Rautaruukki and Outokumpu during the 1970s and 1980s

Planned production rate of 2 million tonnes per annum of 68% Fe iron ore concentrate

Copper/gold concentrate by-product will be a major revenue contributor

Definitive Feasibility Study completion scheduled for the beginning Q1 2013
