Rio Tinto has advised that production at its flagship Pilbara iron ore mines totalled 155.7 million tonnes in the first half of 2019, which is eight per cent lower than previously. Pilbara iron ore shipments also fell by eight per cent, to 154.6 million tonnes. Export volumes were affected by factors such as cyclone activity and a fire at Cape Lambert port during the half-year. Rio Tinto received an average price of $US85.30 per tonne, excluding the cost of freight, an increase of 35 per cent compared with the same period in 2018.
