As it has been already published by Russian Jewellery Network, on August 4 the list of data liable to declassification was approved and this list excludes the information about balance gold resources. However, PGM and gemstones resources are still the issue of the State secret.

The subsidiaries of MMC Norilsk Nickel Polus and Lena Gold are Russian largest gold mining companies. The news about gold data declassification was quite positive for these companies. It will allow Norilsk Nickel to become more transparent and open to the market.
