BHP opens Newman Mining Hub

Production rose because of supply chain improvements, with a record amount of iron ore delivered from the Central Pilbara hub.

Potential M&As were the main interest for investors in the sector in 2024, but BHP’s failed bid for Anglo cooled deals down.

Port Hedland is the world's largest iron ore export hub.

The miner cited a decline in value of its troubled Kwinana refinery, which is grappling with production delays and a lithium price slump.
