BHP Group Ltd. on Thursday reported a 10% fall in iron-ore
output quarter-on-quarter, but said production of metallurgical
coal jumped by 20%.
The miner said it produced 59.7 million metric tons of iron ore
in the January-March quarter. Volumes were weaker as Covid-19
infections affected labor availability at its pits, while the miner
also grappled with a shortage of train drivers.
BHP said its production of metallurgical coal--which climbed to
10.6 million tons--was stronger because of lower rainfall than the
prior period and improved truck productivity.
