"--The nickel division of Swiss-based diversified miner Xstrata (XTA.L: Quote, Profile, Research) has flagged more acquisitions in the sector as the price of the metal continues to decline. Xstrata Nickel this year bought West Australian (WA) nickel producer Jubilee Mines for A$3.1 billion. "We've seen some almost distressed situations which represent good value," Xstrata chief financial officer Shaun Usmar said last week. Observers suggested Australian nickel miners on Xstrata's radar may include WA-based Minara Resources (MRE.AX: Quote, Profile, Research). Page 17."
