    Gold Fields' investor arrest drama


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    By John Helmer

    MOSCOW - Russia's stock market suffered heavy losses amid rumours that billionaire metals magnate Vladimir Potanin, controlling shareholder of Norilsk Nickel and the new part-owner of Gold Fields, had been hauled in for questioning or even arrested.


    At the centre of the drama was Potanin's role in the purchase by Norilsk last month of a 20% stake in SA's Gold Fields. To finance the deal, he borrowed $800m from Citibank in apparent contravention of Russian central bank regulations and spent $316m in Norilsk Nickel cash.


    Shortly after Norilsk's purchase of Anglo American's 20% stake in Gold Fields, rumours surfaced that the Russian central bank might intervene.


    Doubts were cast on the deal after disclosures from Citibank, financier to the deal, that flatly contradicted claims by Norilsk Nickel executives in Moscow.


    The deal, in which Norilsk Nickel is paying $1,16bn to Anglo American for the shareholding in Gold Fields, had not been submitted to the Central Bank of Russia, which must approve capital transactions of Russian companies offshore.


    The now-confirmed official Russian probe of the Norilsk-Gold Fields deal is viewed by analysts in Russia as part of President Vladimir Putin's drive to roll back the power of the "oligarchs" tycoons who have amassed spectacular wealth on the back of the post-Soviet privatisation drive.


    Potanin, who is Russia's fourth richest man with an estimated fortune of $4,9bn, controls the world's largest nickel and palladium producer, Norilsk Nickel. He also has a vast media and energy empire.


    A spokesman for the Interros holding group that owns Norilsk said that contrary to a rumour that had swept Moscow, Potanin had not been arrested, and that he was on "a planned business trip". However, Interros was unable or unwilling to say where exactly Potanin was, inside Russia or abroad; and when he was expected to return.


    Russia's general prosecutor's office declined to confirm or deny whether an arrest warrant had been issued for Potanin.


    But Ekho Moskvy, a credible news radio station in Moscow that has always been close to the oligarchs, was reporting yesterday evening that Potanin had been summoned for questioning by prosecutors, and had left the country immediately afterwards.


    The Norilsk Nickel share price has been dropping sharply in the Moscow market in part because of "growing rumours of an imminent review of the metal giant's privatisation valuation", according to one analyst. There were no further details.


    Speculation about Potanin's arrest sent shares in Interros plunging 7,05% yesterday, dragging down the Moscow stock market in its wake. The benchmark RTS index closed down 5,14%.


    Following the conclusion of the Gold Fields deal, Potanin's deal maker, Leonid Rozhetskin, said in London last week that Norilsk Nickel intended to buy more Gold Fields shares.


    It has since become clear in Moscow that Potanin intends a combination of a takeover of Gold Fields and a cash out of Norilsk


    If he succeeds, Potanin would have achieved a bigger transfer of Russian wealth offshore beyond the reach of the Russian prosecutor, courts, tax authority, or the Kremlin than Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Roman Abramovich, Boris Berezovsky, Vladimir Gusinsky, or any other Russian oligarch have been able to do so far..


    Khod orkovsky was arrested last October; Berezovsky and Gusinsky are subject to arrest and are in exile in the UK and Israel.


    Any such high-profile arrest of a Russian tycoon would deal a blow to investor confidence in Russia after the detention last October on fraud and embezzlement charges of Khodorkovsky, whose prosecution is widely believed to be a Kremlin crackdown on his political ambitions. Khodorkovsky, the main shareholder in Yukos oil giant, and Russia's richest man, had been financing opposition parties prior to his arrest.


    Potanin, like Khodorkovsky, was one of seven business barons who took part in the infamous "loans for shares" scheme in 1995 that provided them with vast chunks of key Russian industries at knock-down prices.

    Potanin mystery deepens


    By John Helmer


    April 30, 2004 Posted: 15:54 Moscow time (11:54 GMT)


    MOSCOW - The mystery of what Russian prosecutors have been doing, looking into the affairs of Norilski Nickel controlling shareholder Vladimir Potanin, deepened on Friday with refusals by Potanin's spokesmen to explain what is happening; and a carefully worded, but highly ambiguous statement from a federal prosecutor in Moscow.


    [Blockierte Grafik: http://www.russiajournal.com/wpics/2003.3.7.12potaninba.jpg]Vladimir Potanin (AP)


    According to sources close to Potanin, he is currently in Spain. This is said to be certain. An earlier Moscow media report that he was in Israel has been denied. The sources also claim that on Thursday Mikhail Prokhorov, CEO of Norilsk Nickel and Potanin's shareholding partner in the company, was in Moscow. The sources said they did not know his whereabouts on Friday.


    Yelena Scherbinina, spokesman for Norilsk Nickel, said she could not respond to questions about Potanin's or Prokhorov's whereabouts, or whether Potanin had met with prosecutors. A high-ranking source inside Norilsk Nickel said "nobbody here believes that Potanin or Prokhorov has been to the prosecutor's office."


    Sergei Polikarpov, investment relations spokesman for Norilsk Nickel, refused a repeated request to answer questions about Potanin and Prokhorov, and to say whether either executive had received a request from the prosecutors to answer questions. Mikhail Barkovets, spokesman for Interros, the holding company through which Potanin controls Norilsk Nickel, refused to answer also.


    A carefully worded statement by Tatiana Matyunina, a federal prosecutor to whom the General Prosecutor's press office referred questions, skirted the question of whether Potanin and Prokhorov are under investigation. "Currently, we don't have information that Potanin has been in our office," Matyunina said by telephone. Asked if she meant that Potanin has been questioned by prosecutors or not, she added: "we don't have that information." When the questions were repeated about Prokhorov, she responded identically.


    From the cryptic replies, it now appears that the federal prosecutors want to encourage the widespread Moscow rumour that Potanin is under investigation, and may have been questioned already. All the prosecutors will say for certain is that the questioning, if it took place, did not occur at the prosecutor's office. The informal denial from sources inside Norilsk Nickel amount to the same thing. The refusal of Potanin himself, Norilsk Nickel, and Interros to clarify what is going on have thus led to a deepening suspicion that the federal government is considering action against Potanin.


    Russian government sources have already confirmed that they are investigating the recently announced Norilsk Nickel purchase of a 20 percent stake in South African miner, Gold Fields, for $1.16 billion. Potanin's dealmaker, and deputy chairman of Norilsk Nickel, Leonid Rozhetskin, said last week that he intends to increase that stake. Gold Fields executives were in Moscow this week, and reportedly met Potanin and Prokhorov.


    Several weeks ago, Vladimir Litvinenko, the Rector of the St.Petersburg State Mining Institute, called publicly for a restructuring of Norilsk Nickel's shareholding, and the introduction of a "golden share" for the government in Norilsk Nickel. He also said he is opposed to foreign takeovers of Russian resource companies. Litvinenko is an influential advisor to President Vladimir Putin.

    Doch, doch, der Adam Hamilton hat vorher, bereits am 1. April von kurzfristig überkaufter Situation beim Silber geschrieben.


    Zitat

    In the April issue of our Zeal Intelligence newsletter for our subscribers, on April 1st before silver collapsed I wrote, “From a short-term speculation standpoint, silver’s chart does look rather toppy at the moment. The metal is accelerating to the upside and is on the verge of going parabolic, a telltale sign of being short-term overbought.”


    Hamilton spricht von einem kollabierten Silberpreis, den er aber als Korrektur ansieht, bei einem wie er meint zu hoch, und vor allem zu schnell in kurzer Zeit gestiegenen Silberpreis.


    Hingegen hast Du recht, er hat seinen Abonnenten nicht speziell geraten zu verkaufen, das habe ich ebenfalls nicht, von Dir habe ich auch keine spezielle Verkaufsempfehlung gelesen, oder habe ich etwas übersehen. A. Hamilton ist wohl vom Ausmas der "Silberpreis Korrekur" genauso überrascht worden, wie die meisten hier im Thread auch. Da zähle ich mich selbst auch dazu.


    Hamilton versucht im heutigen Beitrag aufzuzeigen, dass es wieder aufwärts gehen wird mit dem Silberpreis.


    Das ist auch meine Überzeugung, und vermutlich auch Deine, und die vieler anderer User im Thread.


    Und genauso dürfte es auch kommen.

    The Nightmare German Inflation


    The most highly visited USAGOLD Gilded Opinion piece


    Zitat

    "As this report points out, the correlation between deficits and inflation is sacrosanct ---deficits lead to inflation and uncontrolled deficits lead to uncontrolled inflation. Whether or not there will be a Nightmare American Inflation remains to be seen. Let it be said though that the trend is not favorable. The survivors of the German debacle did so by purchasing gold and rare coins early in the process. As a citizen and an investor, the best you can do is prepare, and then hope against hope that it doesn't happen here. This report of Germany's hyperinflation, originally published in 1970 by Scientific Market Analysis, could play an important part in that preparation process. There is little doubt it will affect your thinking."

    @Thai,


    okay, zur Ehrenrettung von Hamilton, ist sein Hinweis auf die toppy Silberpreise wg. der überkauften Situation anzuerkennen.


    Von mir hast Du sicherlich auch keine Verkaufsempfehlung gehört, ich bin auch kein Goldanalyst, der die künftigen Preisentwicklungen prognostiziert. Und von mir hast Du auch nicht gehört, daß ich den Crash schon vorher kommen sah.


    Ich bin positiv gestimmt für die Wertentwicklung der Edelmetalle, aber ich kann weder den Preis der nächsten Woche noch den Preis des nächsten Jahres vorhersagen. Noch behaupte ich, daß ich es könnte.


    Diese nachträglichen Erklärungen, warum alles genau so ablaufen mußte, gehen mir etwas auf den Geist. Insbesondere, wenn sie damit neue Klienten locken wollen. (Ansonsten habe ich Hamilton immer ganz gerne gelesen).


    Wenn diese Leute schon vorher die Ereignisse öffentlich angekündigt hätten, dann dürften sie meinetwegen auch nachträglich sagen: Seht, ich habe alles vorher gewußt. Ich bin schon auf die Häme von Leonhard Kaplans nächsten Marktbericht gesparnnt: "But, trust me, after watching this market for 30+years, this is going to end very badly, as it always has"

    Da muss es irgendwelche kleinere Probleme geben!


    Wenn die FED es trotz massiv ausgeweiterten Repo Raten und der Unterstützung ihrer Primery Dealers nicht mehr fertig bringt den Markt ihren Zielen entsprechend zu kontrollieren, wird der A.G. wohl gerade zwei Kämme benutzen. Dem Goldpreis dürften seine Probleme gut tun.
