Sierra Leone woos miners to clean energy with $11 billion plan
Most mining firms rely on their own diesel supplies to extract iron ore, diamonds, rutile and bauxite in the resource-rich country.
Vale on Thursday announced a binding agreement with Ananke Alumina, a subsidiary of Norsk Hydro, to sell its 40% stake in Mineração Rio do Norte (MRN).
MRN is Brazil’s largest bauxite producer and exporter, located in the Porto de Trombetas region in western Para. The company is a joint venture between Vale (40%), South32 (33%), Rio Tinto (12%), CBA (10%), and Hydro (5%).
The value of the deal was not disclosed.
