UC Rusal denies talks with Interros on selling stake in Norilsk Nickel

UC Rusal has denied speculation in some of today's media publications on alleged talks between the aluminum giant's chief Oleg Deripaska and owner of investment holding Interros Vladimir Potanin on the potential sale of UC Rusal's stake in Norilsk Nickel, the aluminum company's press office reported today.

According to the press release, Deripaska and Potanin have not discussed the potential deal on the sale of Norilsk Nickel's shares owned by UC Rusal. The company has no intentions of selling its stake in the Russian mining and metallurgical company, and, therefore, any speculation on the matter is groundless.
