MOSCOW, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Russia's Nornickel GMKN.MM, a major world producer of refined nickel and palladium, said on Tuesday it is in active talks on a joint venture in China.
It did not give further details of the talks.
Two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters in December that Nornickel and Chinese conglomerate Xiamen C&D 600153.SS were in talks to create a JV in China to process Nornickel's copper raw material into metal.
