Nyrstar 2014 Full Year Results Amendment and Reissue

26 March 2015

Nyrstar NV ("Nyrstar" or the "Company") today announced that further to the Company's press release on 13 March 2015 related to the impairment of the zinc streaming agreement with Talvivaara Sotkamo Limited (the "Zinc Streaming Agreement"), the Board of Directors has considered the guidance provided by IAS 10 "Events after the reporting period" and concluded that whilst there is no obligation to adjust the 2014 accounts due to the comprehensive disclosure already included, it is more appropriate to reflect the non-cash impairment of the Zinc Streaming Agreement in the 2014 accounts.

The Company has amended and reissued its 31 December 2014 consolidated financial statements to reflect the non-cash impairment of the Zinc Streaming Agreement and as a consequence the 2015 accounts will remain unaffected by the impairment of the Zinc Streaming Agreement.
