Gold Fields has maintained its collaboration with Russian Norilsk Nickel on possible joint ventures, Willie Jacobz, the company?s spokesman.
Gold Fields and Norilsk Nickel have been exploring a ?common goal strategy? since the Russian company acquired a one-fifth interest in the South African at a discount price.
Jakobz said that the recent Norilsk Nickel announcement about spinning off the Polyus gold subsidiary has no relation to the Harmony hostile bid for Gold Fields.
