MMK sold a 51 percent stake in Bakalskoye Iron Ore Management and a 100 percent stake in Rudnik, which owns a license for the development of the Techenskoye field, to Atop International Ltd., an offshore company, MMK said in a statement.

MMK produced a total of 13.2 million tons of crude steel in 2011.
