En+ Group Plc said it has made “substantial progress” after almost six months of talks with the U.S. Treasury on lifting sanctions from Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska’s companies.

There’s “more work to do to reach a formal agreement,” according to a statement from En+ on Saturday. The company, which is majority owned by Deripaska, didn’t provide any details on the talks.
