The company will secure a 51% interest in the project if it pays an additional A$21m ($20.3m) to the Cazaly-Vector joint venture over the next four years.

Once Anglo completes a bankable feasibility study and pays A$5m ($4.8m), it will raise its stake to 75%.

Cazaly managing director Clive Jones stated that the Earaheedy is a major iron ore province and requires the expertise of a major player to develop it.
