Deal significance: Brookfield Rail’s expanded track is a critical piece of infrastructure to enable iron ore from those projects to be transported to port for subsequent export, predominantly to China. This region is of broader economic and strategic significance to Australian export and trade, being the location of many PRC-supported magnetite projects. The involvement of a PRC policy bank, Canadian and Australian ECAs and a syndicate of both Australian and foreign banks required the involvement of the Norton Rose Group in Australia, Beijing, Hong Kong and Calgary.
