BC Iron exports 3.5 million mt of iron ore from Nullagine JV

Australian 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.
