MADRID, Feb 21 (Reuters) - South Korea's Samsung C&T Corp

Duro Felguera said on Friday in a statement to the market regulator that Samsung had cancelled the A$1.47-billion ($1.32 billion) Roy Hill Iron Ore Project in Australia and it was looking at the economic consequences of the termination.

The Spanish company, which has near to 43 percent of the contract, said it was in talks with Samsung over continuing the project.
