BHP fourth-quarter iron ore output falls 4%
July 20 (Reuters) - BHP Group Ltd on Tuesday reported full-year iron ore production near the top end of its forecast range, thanks to record production at two mines in Western Australia.
However, the global miner posted a 4% decline in fourth-quarter output.
The world's largest listed miner produced 284.1 million tonnes (Mt) of the steel-making material in Western Australia on a 100% basis in fiscal 2021, and expects output in 2022 between 278 Mt and 288 Mt. Fourth-quarter output was 72.8 Mt.
