BHP has advised that its iron ore production in the Pilbara rose by three per cent in the December quarter, to 74.3 million tonnes. Iron ore output rose to a record high of 146.4 million tonnes in the first half of 2022-23, as production at the South Flank mine ramped up. However, shipments from the Pilbara fell slightly compared with the same period in 2021-22. BHP still expects iron ore production for the full year to be within the range of 249-260 million tonnes. Meanwhile, BHP has warned that production costs are rising at both its iron ore operations and its Queensland and NSW coal mines.
