I had an email conversation with Martin Fewings, Investor Relations at Glencore on Friday. Jyothish George, Glencore Head of Iron Trading, was copied in.
“ As you may be aware, our iron ore projects in the Republic of Congo and Mauritania (inherited from Xstrata) are early stage and located in regions lacking necessary infrastructure. Given our preference to avoid the many development risks that attach to greenfield project development, we are more likely to be sellers of these projects. Our iron ore team continues to assess a range of opportunities in regard to the future of these projects. ”
Make of that what you will, but I take that as being positive and that a sale will happen.
