Talvivaara Mining Company Plc. is an internationally significant base metals producer with its primary focus on nickel and zinc. Talvivaara´s main asset is the Talvivaara nickel mine in Sotkamo, Finland. The Talvivaara polymetallic deposits, Kuusilampi and Kolmisoppi, comprise one of the largest known sulphide nickel resources in Europe with 642 million tonnes of ore in measured and indicated categories, sufficient to support an anticipated production for at 46 years. Production at the mine started in October 2008 with the precipitation of the first metal sulphides. The planned annual nickel production of 50,000 tonnes is anticipated to be reached in 2012. As by-products the mine will also produce aprox. 90,000 tpa of zinc, aprox.15,000 tpa of copper and c.1,800 tpa of cobalt. The Group supplies metal intermediaries to companies with metal refining operations and has entered into a 10-year off-take agreement with Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta Oy for the entire output of the mine's nickel and cobalt production at market prices.On the 25th of January 2010 Talvivaara entered into a long-term Zinc in concentrate streaming agreement with Nyrstar NV. Talvivaara will deliver all of its Zinc in concentrate production to Nyrstar until 1,250,000 metric tonnes has been delivered. Click here to read the Stock Exchange Release. Talvivaara applies bioheapleaching to extract the metals from ore. The Group demonstrated the viability of this technology first on large on-site pilot trials using the Talvivaara ore and subsequently, since July 2008, in production scale heaps. The leaching process has been shown to be heat generating and therefore suitable for the sub-arctic climatic conditions of Eastern Finland.The Talvivaara ore body is well-suited for open pit mining due to thin overburden, favourable resource geometry and a low waste to ore ratio. The ore is relatively low grade, but well-suited to bioleaching due to its high sulphide content.

Mediterranean Resources Ltd (TSX -- MNR) is developing four projects located along the 12 kilometre Yusufeli Property in northeastern Turkey. Current NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for the Tac and Corak projects, 8 km apart, total 1.58 million ounces gold Indicated and 0.29 million ounces Inferred. These estimates, completed in April 2009 by SRK Consulting are constrained within Whittle pit shells, providing a materially enhanced level of confidence in the economic potential of the Yusufeli Property. The new resource estimates demonstrate that both Corak and Tac are amenable to open-pit mining with a reasonable assumption of economic viability.To date, less than 20% of the 100 square kilometre Yusufeli Property has received drill exploration, and several targets remain to be addressed. In December 2008 MNR announced initial drilling results from the Celtik project area, located at the eastern end of the Yusufeli Trend. Assays from three holes confirmed a significant new discovery at Celtik, with multiple intercepts from surface to 314 metres. An intercept of 18.4 metres assayed 6.51 g/t gold and 0.9% copper.MNR acquired the Corak and Tac properties from Teck in 2005, and currently controls these core areas under a mining license. Acquisition of contiguous areas has been conducted by obtaining new exploration licenses. The properties are well serviced by roads, water and access to power, providing for highly cost-effective exploration. To date, exploration costs have averaged less than $8 per ounce. As well, Turkey's modernized mining code and permitting process provide attractive incentives to exploration ventures, including rebates on expenditures.MNR's plans for 2009 include 6,000 metres of diamond core drilling to an average depth of 300 metres at Corak and Tac to upgrade and expand resources within the new pit shell modeling, and a drill program to follow up on the significant new discovery at Celtik.
