Rio Tinto ready to build Simandou after almost 30 years of setbacks
Simandou has faced delays due to legal disputes, political changes, and the challenges of building a 600 km rail and port infrastructure.
Clive Palmer says he will look to use the proceeds from his $US150 million ($197.4m) legal victory over Chinese corporate giant Citic to reopen his shuttered Townsville nickel refinery in north Queensland.
In a major win for the former federal MP, the West Australian Supreme Court ruled Friday that Mr Palmer and his private company Mineralogy were owed substantial amounts of unpaid royalties from the $15 billion Sino Iron project in the Pilbara region.
