BHP’s iron ore, copper output surge on mine improvements
Production rose because of supply chain improvements, with a record amount of iron ore delivered from the Central Pilbara hub.
Copper output in Chile, the world’s largest producer, dropped 14% year-on-year in May to 413,083 tons, the country’s INE statistics agency said on Friday.
Manufacturing production in the country, meanwhile, decreased less than expected by 1.2% in the period, the INE added. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast a 4.5% drop.
