extension of the earthworks and concrete construction contracts that
Lemminkäinen won at the Kevitsa mine in July 2010.

Lemminkainen's contract are planned to be completed in autumn 2011. About 100
Lemminkäinen personnel are involved in the work.

mine site is located 43 kilometres north of Sodankylä in northern Finland. 
Construction work began in spring 2010 and mine production is planned to start
up in 2012. The mine will produce nickel-PGE concentrate as well as copper 
concentrate. 

First Quantum Minerals Ltd., a growing mining and metals company, is engaged in
mineral exploration, development, mining and refining. The Company produces LME
grade "A" copper cathode, copper in concentrate, gold and sulphuric acid. First
Quantum's common shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange in

In addition to this contract Lemminkäinen has carried out mine excavation works
at a number of locations in Finland, including Elijärvi, Hitura, Kittilä and
