Alisher Usmanov's Metalloinvest is thinking of branching out into the mining and processing of platinum-group metals, the company said.
State-owned Russian Technologies, Metalloinvest's partner in Scartel Telconet and Metalloinvest signed a deal on cooperation in international mining projects during an engineering sector technologies forum on June 27, Interfax reported.
