| Deposit | NAME CHANGED POSSIBLY TO NORILSK NIKEL AS OF COMOD SPEC DATA FOR 1995. NORILSK NIKEL IS ALSO LISTED AS SEVERAL MAS PROPERTY FILES: UNTIL MORE DATA IS AVAILABLE NO CHANGE WILL BE MADE. THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE COORDINATES FOR THE SEVERONIKEL SMELTER ARE ASSUMED TO BE THE SAME AS THOSE FOR THE SEVERONIKEL REFINERY, SINCE THEY ARE BOTH LOCATED AT MONCHEGORSK. PLANT REPORTEDLY SHUT DOWN TEMPORARILY DUE TO SHORTAGES OF RAW MATERIALS. |
