About IMIC
International Mining Infrastructure Corporation plc (IMIC), in
conjunction with its privately held strategic partner African Iron
Ore Group (AIOG), is working to unlock value in the metals and
mining industry in West and Central Africa by providing
infrastructure solutions, for railways, deep-water ports, power
and/or iron ore beneficiation, that will allow the region's
emerging iron ore projects to develop into globally significant
export operations.
IMIC and AIOG are well positioned to partner African host
countries in the delivery of infrastructure arrangements, and to
assist with initiatives that best address the long-term aspirations
of their governments and people.
China, as consumer of 70% of the world's seaborne iron ore, is
key to this opportunity. A best in breed alliance of Chinese
construction and equipment groups and iron ore off-takers has been
carefully assembled to provide funding and delivery of projects and
onward sale of iron ore.
AIOG's major infrastructure project, in partnership with IMIC,
is the Simandou South iron ore project in the Republic of Guinea,
where there is an agreement with the Guinean government to deliver
a multi-purpose, multi-user infrastructure solution which
ultimately could become the backbone of the country's transport
network.
IMIC also takes strategic stakes in junior miners with the
intention of benefiting from the uplift in value once an
infrastructure solution is initiated.
IMIC shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market
under the ticker symbol IMIC.
