Government is currently conducting an exercise to ascertain the value of Nkomati Mine in South Africa with a view to negotiate a compromise deal with Norilsk Nickel and stave off a $272 million (P2.8 billion) lawsuit.

Norilsk Nickel has sued  the government over a failed deal in which  BCL Mine was to buy the Russian company’s 50% stake in the Nkomati Mine.
