Mining Business in RUssia today - So far, reports in the media about a federal buyout of oligarch control of Norilsk Nickel are premature speculations. But the direction is obvious, and natural from the strategic perspective. Through the Rosoboronexport group of companies, the major armament metals -- steel, titanium, and ferro alloys -- will become state-controlled, commercially managed. Oligarch-owned sources of vanadium (Roman Abramovich) and molybdenum (Oleg Deripaska) will be acquired for integration in this state conglomerate, run by Sergei Chemezov. Through Rosatom, the government will integrate management of the entire uranium supply chain, from ore to yellow-cake to nuclear fuels and isotopes. Sergei Kirienko will be in charge. Nickel, copper, cobalt and the rare platinoids -- rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, osmium -- are unlikely to be left to the protestations of loyalty of Vladimir Potanin. He knows when to sell, and also how to price the transaction. Starting on Monday, Vybornov will find a stream of visitors at his anteroom door, bearing the cards of the largest names in investment finance, offering to help him finance the takeover. The cash for this operation is not Vybornov's biggest problem. Consolidating Alrosa remains the first and biggest hurdle. As it was for Nichiporuk. The big fish that De Beers and Shtirov enjoyed landing in their net has been lost to De Beers. It could get away again, unless Vybornov proves himself quickly. mineweb.net
