Gwede Mantashe weighs into BCL, Norilsk battle

Friday, October 26, 2018

South African mineral resources minister, Gwede Mantashe has reportedly requested BCL Mine and Norilsk Nickel to shelve their court battle over a US$271 million deal, and wait for his decision.

The October 2014 deal involved BCL purchasing Norilsk’s assets which included a 50% stake in Mpumalanga mine, Nkomati Nickel, as well as Tati Nickel Mine near Francistown.
