LONDON (Reuters) - Mining group Rio Tinto is seeking a meeting with the new military junta in Guinea to discuss its $6 billion Simandou iron ore project, the firm said on Monday.
Rio -- the world's fourth biggest diversified mining group by market value -- had been locked in a dispute about Simandou with the previous government of President Lansana Conte, who died last week, sparking a military coup.
"One of main priorities is that we want to fix up a meeting with the new government as soon as possible to discuss the situation," spokesman Nick Cobban said.
