CONAKRY, Sept 6 (Reuters) - HPX, a company run by billionaire mining investor Robert Friedland, signed a deal with the Guinean government late on Thursday to develop the Mount Nimba iron ore deposit, Guinea's mines minister told Reuters.
HPX is to take over stakes in Nimba owned by BHP BHP.AX , Newmont Goldcorp NEM.N , and French nuclear group Orano, a document seen by Reuters detailed, without specifying the financial terms of the deal.
