The Head of a Major Chinese Mining Company Flew to Sierra Leone Just Days After Parliament Cleared the Way for Expanded Iron Ore Shipments
Colin Ding,President of Kingho Energy Group, landed in Freetown this week, just days after Sierra Leone’s parliament voted to ratify a port and rail lease agreement that will facilitate the export of iron ore from the West African nation.
Kingho is becoming a critical player in China’s drive to diversify its iron ore supply chain and reduce the current dependence on Australian imports. The company, with its Tonkolili mine, started full-scale mining operations in March. Now, the new rail and port lease will make it easier for Kingho to scale up its production.
