Rio Tinto sorry for loss of radioactive capsule in Australia
The loss of a small, but “highly radioactive” widget has triggered a radiation alert across parts of the vast state of Western Australia.
SAO PAULO – Vale SA said on Tuesday a London arbitration court had ordered BSG Resources Limited to pay the iron ore miner $1.246 billion related to a dispute between the companies over a joint venture in Guinea.
The joint venture intended to explore for iron assets at the Simandou prospect, but the concession was revoked in 2014 by Guinea’s government.
