Australia shuts its biggest iron ore port on cyclone threat
Port Hedland handles vast volumes of iron ore from all major miners including BHP Group, Rio Tinto Group, and Fortescue.
Brazilian steelmaker Companhia Siderúgica Nacional SA affirmed its original schedule for taking its mining unit public, according to a securities filing on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday, newspaper Valor Economico reported that the company could delay plans for an initial public offering for CSN Mineração SA, citing unnamed sources.
Still, CSN said it was monitoring market conditions.
CSN Mineração SA, which owns the massive Casa de Pedra mine, is Brazil’s second-largest iron ore exporter and has certified reserves of more than 3 billion tonnes, according to information on the company’s website.
