Polymetal International plc

Voro plant fully certified under International Cyanide Management Code

The Voro plant has become  the second Polymetal gold production  operation to be certified  as
being in full compliance with the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code) as both
a gold mining company  and separately as  a cyanide transporter  by the International  Cyanide
Management Institute (ICMI).

Polymetal became a signatory to the Cyanide Code as a mining company in 2016 and as a  cyanide
transporter in 2018, and an independent third-party auditor has recently completed an audit of
the Voro  Operation  and  Supply Chain  which  confirmed  that the  operation  maintains  full
compliance with the Cyanide Code's Principles and Practices.

Earlier in May 2019,  the Amursk POX  plant, another Polymetal  production, became the  second
gold production operation in Russia and FSU which has been certified ICMI.

The Summary Audit Report and Auditor Credentials Form are available in Polymetal's Mining  and
Transportation       Signatory       Page       on       the       ICMI       website       at

About ICMC

The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry  program for companies involved in the production  of
gold and/or silver using cyanide and companies producing and transporting this cyanide. It was
developed under the aegis of the  United Nations Environment Programme by a  multi-stakeholder
Steering Committee.  The  Cyanide Code  is  intended  to complement  an  operation's  existing
obligation to comply with the applicable  laws and regulations of the political  jurisdictions
in which the operation is located.

Code signatories  commit  to follow  the  Code's Principles  and  implement its  Standards  of
Practice, and  to  have verification  audits  of  their operations  conducted  by  independent
third-party auditors within three  years of their initial  application, and every three  years
thereafter to  evaluate  continuing compliance  with  the  Cyanide Code.  Operations  will  be
certified if found in compliance  with the Code, and may  be de-certified if determined to  be
out of compliance with the Code.
