BHP reported iron ore production of 62,394kt for the second quarter and 128,434kt for the first half. This represents a 3% and 6% increase, respectively, on the prior corresponding periods.
Despite an improvement in copper production over the first quarter, second quarter production was 6% lower than the prior corresponding period at 428kt and 5% lower for the half at 841kt.
