Nordgold of Alexei Mordashov may become the first Russia gold producer in South America. The company received an option for joint with Canadian Columbus Gold development of the large deposit Montagne d'Or in French Guiana.

The gold-mining company Nordgold, controlled by Alexei Mordashov, has received a three-year option from Canadian Columbus Gold Corp for purchase of 50.01% of the company Sotrapmag Sas’ shares, which owns a license for the Montagne d'Or deposit in French Guiana (South America).
