Norilsk seeks damages from Botswana govt over stalled sale of Nkomati, Tati mines

Norilsk Nickel will start legal proceedings against the Botswana government in relation to a stalled 2014 deal that would have resulted in Botswana copper and nickel producer BCL Mine acquiring Norilsk’s African assets. In October 2014, BCL agreed to buy Norilsk’s 50% interest in the Nkomati mine, in South Africa, and its 85% interest, in the Tati mine, in Botswana, for $337-million.
