Norilsk Nickel launches new website

MMC Norilsk Nickel launched its new corporate website www.norilsknickel.ru/en.

The new orderly structured site designed in a more colorful and stylish fashion contains more sections dedicated to important areas of the company’s activities. The primary reason for the website upgrade is the company’s commitment to implementing best corporate governance and information disclosure standards in its new capacity of a global player.

The website sections will feature detailed information about the Company’s overseas operations including Stillwater Mining Company and assets in Finland, Australia, South Africa and Botswana to reflect the global scale of MMC Norilsk Nickel’s activities and its presence in the world’s major mining and metal production regions.

According to Ms Elena Kovaleva director of Public Relations Department, Norilsk Nickel, Russia’s major public miner and metal producer has always demonstrated the highest level of informational openness and transparency. Expert RA agency and MICEX in cooperation with PricewaterhouseCoopers named the previous version of the Company’s website the industry’s best resource in 2007.

Ms Elena Kovaleva said “The high appreciation of our achievements will not keep us from setting even higher standards and improving the informational toolkit of the Company. This is why we upgraded the website to make it a more convenient and useful resource for all persons interested in learning more about MMC Norilsk Nickel.”
