    Question

    An unknown analyst asked who the best operator for the Simandou project is—Rio Tinto or its Chinese partners—and whether the asset could be used as leverage to facilitate a sale of Chinalco's stake in Rio Tinto.

    Answer

    CEO Jakob Stausholm praised the development capabilities of the Chinese partners but emphasized that Rio Tinto brings crucial value in operational expertise and ESG standards in Guinea. He stated that the current partnership structure works well and that it would be difficult to see the company, as the world's largest iron ore producer, divesting from a major iron ore asset.
