Rio Tinto’s latest production report shows that its iron ore shipments fell by three per cent to 321.6 million tonnes in calendar 2021. This is at the lower end of its revised target for the year, which was scaled back to between 320 and 325 million tonnes in October. The resources group expects its iron ore shipments in 2022 to be within the range of 320 to 335 million tonnes; however, the company has cautioned that its full-year guidance could be affected by any new outbreak of COVID-19 as Western Australia reopens its borders. Rio Tinto also reported lower full-year production of copper, titanium dioxide, bauxite and aluminium.
