Ann: Sale of Kagara Nickel Assets , page-4

BHP has downsized its group exposure to nickel over the past two years.

The potential size of a transaction could be regarded as a distraction to BHP. Too small to have any significant balance sheet impact.

BHP wants control of all of its investments where possible.WSA is already the site operator and they put all the dirt through our plant anyway?
