In the fourth quarter (April-June) of 2023/2024 fiscal year, the company increased ore production by 6% y/y – to 69.2 million tons, mainly at its Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) operations in the Pilbara region.
«WAIO continues to perform strongly, delivering record production for the second consecutive year, driven by continued improvements in the supply chain as we make progress towards our medium-term goal of increasing production to 305 million tonnes per annum,» said BHP CEO Mike Henry.
