As it has been informed by Independent Information Agency, this year the Government of Russia has approved the bill “On amendments to the law “On the State Secret”. The bill removes the data about precious metals and gemstones mining and consumption volumes from the list of the State Secret object.

According to the Ministry of Finance, these amendments will make the market more transparent, more predictable and more attractive for foreign investments.

The CEO of MMC Norilsk Nickel Mikhail Prokhorov considers this decision to be right: He states that Norilsk Nickel has the best resources in the world and this is why this bill will influence positively the company’s activity. Norilsk Nickel plans to broadcast its resources in the nearest future. Mr Prokhorov mentioned as well that the world’s basic palladium resources are located in Krasnoyarsk krai.
