Sept 15 (Reuters) - Fortescue Metals Group FMG.AX said on Friday Chief Executive Neville Power will step down from his position in February next year.
The company did not announce a successor to Power.
"This is consistent with our long term succession plan," Chairman Andrew Forrest said in a statement.
The announcement comes a few weeks after Fortescue, the world's number 4 iron ore miner, said it would pay a record-high final dividend after more than doubling its annual profit.
