Simandou (Blocks 3 and 4) iron ore mine
Report summary
The Simandou (Blocks 3 and 4) deposit is one of the largest undeveloped high grade deposits in the world. When brought online it would be one of the lowest operating cost mines supplying the seaborne market and would account for just under 10% of the total seaborne export production. With Winning Consortium progressing the development of Simandou (Blocks 1 and 2), Rio Tinto is revising its previous optimisation and feasibility studies and could publish this in 2023. A decision to co-develop the infrastructure by shareholders has been reached, clearing the path for the speedy development of Simandou.
