In recent times mining companies in Finland have experienced a generally positive business environment, and the country is now rated by the Fraser Institute as the world's most attractive operating destination.
One of the exceptions to this rule however, is Talvivaara Mining Co. which has suffered a difficult couple of years at its Sotkamo nickel mine.
Speaking at this week’s upcoming Mining on Top: Helsinki event, Talvivaara's chief financial officer, Saila Miettinen-Lähde will give an update on recent operating and financial performance as well as progress on the company's innovative bioheap-leaching technology.
Ms Miettinen-Lähde, who retained her position on Talvivaara's eight-person executive committee after last month's sweeping management changes, joins a list of influential speakers at the conference who will focus on legislation, financing, mining investment, mine developments and environmental issues.Now in its third year, Mining on Top: Helsinki provides miners, explorers and investors with all they need to know about operating in Finland.
The conference gives an unparalleled opportunity to meet appropriate government officials, investors, miners and suppliers.
