                    [Summary] => The prized nickel mine of the Philippine Nickel Co. (Philnico) could be put on the auction block as early as the third quarter of the year once the financial model for the sale of Nonoc mines is finalized by next month.


Finance officials said the financial package for Philnico is expected to be completed by next month and would pave the way for decisions on how China-based nickel giant Jinchuan Group and Shanghai Bao Steel Corp. could proceed with their investment in the mining interest.
