Beijing (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - CITIC Pacific (SEHK:02667) looks likely to sell Shijiazhuang Iron and Steel Co. (Shi Steel) to Hebei Iron and Steel Group (HBIS), China's largest steel maker by output, for 1.9 billion yuan (US$278.4 million), an insider of Shi Steel told Caijing Magazine recently.

CITIC Pacific confirmed on Wednesday it is in talks with HBIS for the proposed transfer of the auto-use steel producer located in Shijiazhuang city, the capital city of Hebei province, northern China.
