The ambitious infrastructure, including a 650km railway and three seaports, seeks to rival Australia's iron ore production. Authorities believe this project could reshape Guinea's economy and usher in a new era marked by prosperity and growth.
Simandou is projected to transform Guinea's economy with a $20bn investment, creating 60,000 jobs and potentially restructuring the global iron ore market.
