SYDNEY--Rio Tinto PLC (RIO.LN) shipped 9% more iron ore from its
Australian mines in the first half of 2018, and said it expects
full-year shipments at the high end of an earlier projection.
The Anglo-Australian mining company on Tuesday said 168.8
million metric tons of the steelmaking commodity was exported from
its operations in Australia's remote Pilbara mining region during
the first six months of the year. It forecast 2018 shipments from
its mines here to be in the upper end of an existing target of
330-340 million tons.
Rio Tinto also reported a 7% increase in half-year bauxite
production to 25.9 million tons and a 42% jump in mined copper
output to 296,100 tons. Aluminum output was down 4% on a year ago,
at 1.7 million tons.
