Kazakh tycoon sells Petropavlovsk stake to focus on battery minerals

Kazakh entrepreneur Kenes Rakishev said on Tuesday he had sold his stake in gold miner Petropavlovsk to Russian billionaire Roman Trotsenko and would invest the proceeds in a cobalt and nickel project he aims to list in Hong Kong.

Rakishev bought his shares in late 2017 when he said Petropavlovsk was a distressed stock.
