Severstal’s gold unit, Nord Gold, may announce plans next Saturday for a £3.2 billion ($5 billion) initial public offering in London, Britain’s Sunday Times said, citing sources close to the Russian company.
Nord Gold aims to raise £800 million by offering up to a quarter of its shares, with Severstal retaining the rest. The money will be used to repay loans and develop projects in West Africa.
Credit Suisse Group, Morgan Stanley and Troika Dialog are handling the share sale, the newspaper said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
