Rio stumps up nearly $2b for BHP's stake in Richards Bay Minerals. Lots of negative headlines coming from South Africa at the moment, but Rio's move obviously means they see a future for South African based investments.
There's a fair chance they could be a significant customer of ours in the not too distant future.
