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.
One miner died and five were injured after an underground tremor in a mine at Bielszowice in southern Poland on Saturday, the PAP news agency said.
A spokesman for the Polish Mining Group, quoted by PAP, said that five miners were brought to the surface, injured but still conscious, and were taken to hospital.
“One miner remained underground. Rescuers and a doctor reached him, unfortunately the doctor pronounced the miner dead,” the spokesman said.
The underground tremor occurred at a depth of 1,000 meters.
