This brief is a summary of sources of information published on the Engineering News and Mining Weekly websites, as well as of information available in the public domain.
The Iron-Ore MYB is a two-page synopsis of key developments in the iron-ore market over the past 12 months, including South Africa’s iron-ore production and the rail constraints that the country’s State-owned freight company is facing in delivering product to port.
