NORILSK NICKEL GROUP ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY CONSOLIDATED PRODUCTION RESULTS 
FOR NINE MONTHS 2019

Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement that contains inside information 
according to REGULATION (EU) No 596/2014 (MAR), transmitted by EQS Group. 
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. 
 
PRESS RELEASE 
 
           October 31, 2019 
 
       Public Joint Stock Company "Mining and Metallurgical Company "NORILSK 
          NICKEL" (PJSC "MMC "Norilsk Nickel", "Nornickel" or the "Company") 
 
 NORILSK NICKEL GROUP ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY CONSOLIDATED PRODUCTION RESULTS 
     FOR NINE MONTHS 2019 
 
 Moscow - PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, the world's largest producer of palladium 
and high-grade nickel and a major producer of platinum and copper, announces 
 today preliminary consolidated production results for the third quarter and 
           the nine months of 2019. 
 
First Vice-President, Chief Operating Officer, Sergey Dyachenko commented on 
           the 9M19 production results, 
 
    «In 9M19, the output of all of our core metals increased owing mainly to 
productivity improvements. The growth in nickel production was attributed to 
  increased processing of high-grade matte from Polar Division, ramp-up of a 
 refining shop with new chlorine leaching technology at Kola MMC, as well as 
    higher production volumes of saleable metal at Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta 
 driven by higher processing volumes of Russian material and feed from third 
  parties. The increase in PGM production was mainly driven by higher output 
         in 1Q19 due to release of accumulated work-in-progress inventory at 
      Krasnoyarsk Precious Metals Refinery. In addition, the increase of PGM 
      production by Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta was attributed to higher metal 
  content in processed Russian feed. The increase in copper output primarily 
           resulted from the ramp-up of Bystrinsky project, which was fully 
           commissioned in September 2019. 
 
           We reiterate our 2019 production targets for core metals". 
 
           NORILSK NICKEL GROUP 
 
           Nickel 
 
     In 3Q19, consolidated nickel production increased 7% quarter-on-quarter 
   (q-o-q) to 57 kt, almost all of which was produced from own Russian feed. 
  The growth was mainly attributed to increased production at Norilsk Nickel 
Harjavalta as the refinery recovered its capacity utilization rate to normal 
           after the scheduled maintenance carried out in 2Q19. 
 
In 9M19, consolidated nickel production increased 6% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 
 167 kt, with nickel output from the Company's Russian feed totaling 164 kt, 
  up 6% y-o-y. The growth was attributed to the expansion of carbonyl nickel 
 production at Kola MMC, increased refinery utilization rate, higher volumes 
 of nickel matte shipped to Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta for further processing 
           and processing of nickel feed supplied by a third party, Boliden. 
 
           Copper 
 
In 3Q19, consolidated copper production decreased 3% q-o-q to 121 kt, almost 
all of which was produced from the Company's Russian feed. The reduction was 
 attributed to lower processing volumes of concentrate purchased from Rostec 
  and trial shipments of copper concentrate from Kola MMC and Norilsk Nickel 
  Harjavalta to Copper Plant at Polar Division for further refining in 4Q19. 
 
In 9M19, consolidated copper production increased 6% y-o-y to 372 kt, almost 
   all of which was produced from the Company's Russian feed. The growth was 
    driven by the ramp-up of Bystrinsky Project and higher volumes of copper 
           concentrate produced at Kola MMC for the sale to third parties. 
 
           Platinum Group Metals 
 
    In 3Q19, palladium and platinum (both produced solely from the Company's 
  Russian feed) output amounted to 720 koz (down 6% q-o-q) and 164 koz (down 
           11% q-o-q), respectively. Lower production was attributed to the 
 commissioning of the new precious metals concentrate production line at the 
           metallurgical shop at Kola MMC and trial shipments of copper cake 
        (containing precious metals) from Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta to Polar 
     Division for further processing. The new production line at Kola MMC is 
           being launched as part of nickel refinery upgrade to a new nickel 
      electrowinning technology, whereby precious metal concentrates will be 
           produced from residue of chlorine leaching. 
 
  In 9M19, palladium and platinum output amounted to 2,253 koz (up 7% y-o-y) 
    and 553 koz (up 8% y-o-y), respectively. The increase of PGMs output was 
      attributed to the release of work-in-progress inventory at Krasnoyarsk 
        Precious Metals Refinery, higher PGM content in the Russian feed and 
       processing of the feed purchased from third parties at Norilsk Nickel 
           Harjavalta. 
 
           RUSSIAN OPERATIONS 
 
  In 9M19, the Company's Russian operations produced all saleable metal from 
           own domestic feed. 
 
           Nickel 
 
       In 3Q19, nickel production at Kola MMC amounted to 40 kt and remained 
           largely unchanged compared to the previous quarter (-1% q-o-q). 
 
 In 9M19, Kola MMC increased nickel output by 7% y-o-y to 121 kt. The growth 
    was primarily attributed to increased shipments of high-grade matte from 
   Polar Division and gradual ramp-up of refined nickel production using new 
  chlorine-leaching technology. In addition, in line with diversification of 
 sales into premium products strategy carbonyl nickel production at Kola MMC 
           more than doubled to 2.7 kt (+104% y-o-y). 
 
           Copper 
 
 In 3Q19, the Company's Russian operations reduced copper output by 4% q-o-q 
       to 117 kt. The reduction was attributed to lower processed volumes of 
 concentrate purchased from Rostec and trial shipments of copper concentrate 
       from Kola MMC to Copper Plant at Polar Division for further refining. 
 
   In 9M19, copper output at the Company's operations in Russia increased 7% 
 y-o-y to 360 kt. The growth was driven by the ramp-up of Bystrinsky (Chita) 
   Project and higher volumes of copper concentrate produced at Kola MMC for 
   the sale to third parties. Bystrinsky Project was ramping-up on schedule, 
 having increased production more than two-fold to 31 kt of copper in copper 
           concentrate. 
 
           Platinum Group Metals 
 
  In 3Q19, palladium and platinum output in Russia amounted to 707 koz (down 
  6% q-o-q) and 162 koz (down 11% q-o-q), respectively. Lower production was 
      attributed to the commissioning of the new precious metals concentrate 
           production line at the metallurgical shop at Kola MMC. 
 
  In 9M19, palladium and platinum output in Russia amounted to 2,204 koz (up 
      7% y-o-y) and 542 koz (up 7% y-o-y), respectively. The increase of PGM 
    output was due to a release of accumulated work-in-progress inventory at 
           Krasnoyarsk Precious Metals Refinery. 
 
           NORILSK NICKEL HARJAVALTA (FINLAND) 
 
           Nickel 
 
  In 3Q19, nickel output at Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta increased 29% q-o-q to 
17 kt. The increase was mainly attributed to a low base effect of 2Q19, when 
           refinery was undergoing annual scheduled maintenance and repairs. 
 
        In 9M19, nickel output increased 5% y-o-y to 46 kt. The increase was 
  attributed to higher processing volumes of Russian feed as a result of the 
        downstream reconfiguration and processing of nickel feed supplied by 
           Boliden. 
 
           Copper 
 
In 3Q19, copper output at Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta increased 11% q-o-q to 4 
   kt. The increase was mainly attributed to a low base effect of 2Q19, when 
           refinery was undergoing annual scheduled maintenance and repairs. 
 
In 9M19, copper output decreased 13% y-o-y to 12 kt. The reduction was owing 
to the high base effect of 9M18, when the Company processed work-in-progress 
   concentrate, and in addition a trial shipment of copper cake from Norilsk 
   Nickel Harjavalta to Copper Plant at Polar Division for further refining. 
 
           Platinum Group Metals 
 
In 3Q19, output of saleable palladium and platinum (both contained in copper 
       cake) amounted to 13 koz (down 10% q-o-q) and 3 koz (down 28% q-o-q), 
 respectively. The reduction was attributed to trial shipment of copper cake 
from Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta to Copper Plant at Polar Division for further 
           refining. 
 
 In 9M19, output of palladium and platinum reached 49 koz (up 16% y-o-y) and 
  11 koz (up 35% y-o-y), respectively. The increase in metals production was 
attributed to higher PGM content in processed Russian feed and processing of 
           third party feed. 
 
           NKOMATI (SOUTH AFRICA) (*) 
 
In 9M19, output at Nkomati (50%-owned by Norilsk Nickel) amounted to 5 kt of 
nickel (up 6% y-o-y), 3 kt of copper (up 22% y-o-y), 26 koz of palladium (up 
    11% y-o-y) and 11 koz of platinum (up 20% y-o-y). The increase in metals 
  production was attributed to higher volumes of mined ore with higher metal 
           content. 
 
  Note: Nkomati production results are not consolidated in the Group's total 
           operating results
