Officials working to contain Kentucky slurry spill

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.

The African Development Bank has agreed to finance a feasibility study for the project, at a cost of about $4 million.
