According to newspaper Kommersant, Usmanov and Potanin say they are open to inviting the owner of Rusal, Oleg Deripaska, into their negotiations. Rusal bought a 25 percent-plus-one-share stake in Norilsk last month.
This is the first time that three-way cooperation between Potanin’s Norilsk, Usmanov’s Metalloinvest and Deripaska’s Rusal has been publicly suggested by the major players.
