BHP’s iron ore, copper output surge on mine improvements
Production rose because of supply chain improvements, with a record amount of iron ore delivered from the Central Pilbara hub.
The world’s fifth largest copper mine, Chile’s El Teniente, worked at less than half of capacity on Monday as most workers stayed home for a third day to avoid violence by striking contractors, owner state giant Codelco [CODEL.UL] said.
The mine slowed down operations late last week after temporary workers, on strike since May 25, threw stones at buses carrying workers to the mine.
