Polymetal swaps Russian property for Kazakhstan deposit

Gold miner Polymetal has reached an agreement with the Russian Copper Company in which it would exchange its Tarutin property, in Russia, for the East Tarutin property, in Kazakhstan. The asset-swap deal would give Polymetal an 85% stake in the East Tarutin property, which CEO Vitaly Nesis said represented a better fit for the company in terms of logistics and potential size of reserve.
