Australian miner Fortescue (ASX: FMG) posted a 5% rise in third-quarter iron ore shipments on Friday, driven by strong performance of its hematite operations and higher contribution from the Iron Bridge project.
The world’s fourth-largest iron ore miner shipped 48.4 million metric tons (Mt) of iron ore in the three months ended March 31, compared with 46.1 Mt reported a year earlier.
That missed a Visible Alpha consensus estimate of 48.6 Mt.
