Fortescue Metals Group has played down speculation that it is considering a $2 billion-plus sale of its Chichester hub in Western Australia's Pilbara.
The iron ore miner's managers are understood to have been in talks recently about a Chinese company buying a 20 per cent stake in Chichester, The Australian reported on Tuesday.
But Fortescue says while it is open to commercial talks with a range of groups, no deal has been done.
"Fortescue's position is unchanged, there is no agreement of such nature with any party at this time," the company said in a statement.
