The company has already implemented the first test the delivery of nickel and copper concentrates from the Brazilian Votorantim Metais on its production facility in the Murmansk region, the agency reports. This was the third-party material, which was previously supplied by the Finnish plant Harjavalta, owned by MMC. The volume of deliveries in the company did not say.

Prior to that, "Norilsk Nickel" did not use the tolling scheme in Russia. Now this was done in order to increase the load of domestic enterprises, the Company explained. Probably, this practice will continue.

Production of nickel in concentrate by Tati Nickel was 2.4 tons, while in the period of delivery of nickel in concentrate to Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta refinery to be implemented. The results of the reporting period, the main change was influenced by the mineralogical composition of the ore, which caused the loss of production of nickel and by-products (copper, platinum, palladium) in the first quarter of 2010, as well as holding at the processing plant scale testing of tailings processing of magnetic separation .
