iron ore development company
BC Iron Limited has announced that it has exported over 3.5 million mt of
iron ore from its Nullagine joint venture with
Australia-based miner
Fortescue Metals, achieving its fourth and final operational milestone for FY 2011-12 ending June 30.
Nullagine JV dispatched its largest shipment to date, on June 26, 2012, exporting more than 224,000 mt of
iron ore in one capesize vessel from Herb Elliott Port in Port Hedland. The
iron ore from Nullagine now moves through the
Fortescue system at the same rail loading and ship loading rates as those of
Fortescue's products ensuring a high and efficient operating standard.
