Rio Tinto and Chinalco have agreed to develop the Simandou iron ore mine in Guinea.
Chinalco will pay $1.3bn for 47% of the project.
The deal comes amid tensions between China and Australia over next week's trial of four Rio employees on bribery and commercial spying charges.
China has rejected requests for the trial to be fully open to diplomats, citing concerns over trading secrets.
