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.
Metso is making a significant donation of equipment and services to the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) in Tarkwa, Ghana. This is expected to benefit the current as well as future students.
