BHP posts second straight year of record iron ore production, beats estimates
The world's largest listed miner said iron ore output from Western Australia on a 100% basis was 76.8 million tonnes in the three months to June 30.
Five people died and four others were hospitalized after a methane gas leak at an ArcelorMittal coal mine in Kazakhstan on Thursday, the company said.
The company said it was continuing rescue work at the mine in the Qaraghandy region in central Kazakhstan where ArcelorMittal operates the country’s biggest steel mill.
Kazakh news website Zakon.kz quoted regional governor Zhenis Kasymbek as saying that all eight ArcelorMittal mines had halted work for a day.
Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov said a government commission would investigate the incident.
