 | | OSCOW (Mineweb.com) -- Although De Beers's position in Russia approaches its nadir, the Swedish Supreme Court has issued a ruling, which will allow the De Beers-affiliated company, Archangel Diamond Corporation (ADC), one more chance to reinstate its mining right for the Grib diamond pipe -- in Sweden, if not exactly in Russia. |
 | | A statement issued on Monday by ADC's office in Toronto reports that the Swedish Supreme Court has dismissed an application to appeal against a lower court ruling by ADC's former Russian partner, and now rival, Arkhangelskgeoldobycha (AGD), which is controlled by Vagit Alekperov, chief executive of LUKoil. |
 | | AGD had sought to appeal to the higher court against a ruling on November 15, 2005, by the Stockholm Court of Appeal. |
