Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. Looking To Sell Cockatoo Island Operations

Cliff Natural Resources, (CLF) is negotiating an agreement with Pluton Resources Limited to sell its share of the Cockatoo Island mining project. It has a 50% share of the cockatoo mining project together with HWE Cockatoo and Cockatoo Mining. The potential transaction is due to take place at the end of 2012. Pluton wants the operation to help its Irvine Island assets in the Kimberly Iron Ore Hub located in northern Western Australia.
