(Reuters) – BHP Group (NYSE:) on Wednesday reported iron ore production rose 2% in the first quarter on the back of strong activity from its Western Australia mines amid lower COVID-19 related impacts and strong supply chain performance.

The world’s largest miner said iron ore production from Western Australia was 72.1 million tonnes (mt) in the quarter ended September 30, compared with 70.6 million tonnes a year ago and a UBS estimate of 72 mt.
