Venezuela-based iron firm Ferrominera Orinoco has received a $900m loan from China, to increase its iron output capacity.

 

Ferrominera Orinoco will use half of the loan to build a second pellet plant to increase output by three million tons a year.

 

A total of $460m will be used for production and trade projects, reports Reuters.
