Ore export threatened by Australian licence denial
Perth reports the Commonwealth refusal to grant Hamersley Iron Pty Ltd a pellet export licence may impact Western Australia’s iron ore and pellet shipments to Europe. WA Minister Mr Court notes transport costs require ore prices to Europe to drop below the Commonwealth’s level. The licence denial affected 8.6 million tons valued over £41 million for Japan, tied to a contract with six Japanese steel mills signed in November at about £5 1s per ton at delivery port. Sixty per cent of Hamersley’s exports were in question.
