n">Dec 21 (Reuters) - Global miner Anglo American said an injunction on installing an electricity transmission line at its Minas-Rio iron ore project in Brazil has been removed, clearing away the final hurdle for the project.
A Brazilian court removed two injunctions in September, letting the company restart construction at the mine, which has a capacity of 26.5 million tonnes per year.
The removal of the final injunction on Friday will allow the company to install a 90 km (55 mile) electricity transmission line.
The project has faced a series of delays since it was bought for $5.5 billion from Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista's MMX Mineracao e Metais in 2008.
The company raised the estimated cost of the Minas Rio project last month, telling investors it was unlikely to cost less than $8 billion.
