Tony O’Neill of Anglo American says the company will seek further productivity gains via technological innovation, after lifting productivity by 70 per cent over the last 4-5 years. O’Neill has outlined some of these technologies at the annual Diggers & Dealers forum, but he noted that securing regulatory permits is the main hindrance to adopting some of the innovations. Meanwhile, Roy Hill Holdings has advised that iron ore shipments from its namesake mine totalled 4.45 million tonnes in June 2017, and shipments had averaged 2.8 million tonnes during the first half of the calendar year.
