Major bhp has warned of rising cost pressures while reporting record ironore production copper nickel coal mining
PERTH – Major BHP has flagged higher costs at its Pilbara iron-ore and its Queensland and New South Wales coal operations, as well as at its copper operations at Escondida, in Chile.
Escondida copper production increased by 5% to 511 000 t primarily owing to higher concentrator feed grade in the December half, which was partially offset by lower throughput and the impact of road blockades across Chile in the December quarter, which reduced availability of some key mine supplies. BHP during the December quarter entered into a scheme implementation deed with copper miner Oz Minerals to acquire that company at a cash price of A$28.25 a share, valuing Oz Minerals at A$9.6-billion.
BHP said on Thursday that the Queensland government’s decision to raise coal royalties to the highest maximum rate in the world made Queensland uncompetitive and puts investment and jobs at risk. Nickel production for the half-year declined by 2%, to 38 400 t, and by 14% in the December quarter to reach 17 700 t.
