Output increased as prices fall: Fortescue

Output increased as prices fall: Fortescue

By Rachel Dally-Watkins 17 April, 2015 FORTESCUE Metals Group will increase output by as much as 10 million tonnes by the end of the 2015 financial year, just weeks after publicly calling out majors BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto for flooding the market. In its March quarter report, Fortescue’s shipping guidance was upgraded to between 160mt and 165mt, to reflect “the strong operational performance for the year to date”. The new target would result in a substantial increase to the 124mt shipped in the previous financial year. The move prompted criticism, given Fortescue chairman Andrew Forrest’s recent infamous call for iron ore majors to cap their production to ease the pressure of plunging iron ore prices. “Rio is competing with…

Copper regains shine

Copper regains shine

COPPER has bounced back from the effects of COVID-19, rising to US$5700/t, the highest it’s been in three months. The high level has been due to robust demand from China, the world’s top consumer of copper. It’s a welcome spike for the base metal, which dropped to $4300 in March. Copper production is expected to climb by 3.1pc between 2020 and 2029 as global output increases by more than 6mt. BHP is currently awaiting approval from the South Australian Government for a copper production increase from 200,000 to 350,000tpa at its Olympic Dam mine. South Australia is the country’s main copper explorer, with national exploration budgets for the commodity reaching $272m last year.
