BHP Billiton today released its production report for the quarter ended 30
June, 2001. Production of most major mineral commodities was higher than
both the corresponding period last year and the March 2001 quarter.
* Aluminium production was 15 per cent higher than the corresponding period
last year and in line with the March 2001 quarter following the commencement
of production at the Mozal smelter in June 2000. Full production at Mozal
(250,000 tonnes per annum) was reached in December 2000, only six months
after commissioning. Production at Alumar and Valesul (Brazil) was in line
with the March quarter, however power usage restrictions are expected to
impact on production in the September 2001 quarter.
* Copper production was 21 per cent higher than the corresponding period
last year and in line with the March 2001 quarter. The increase in
production compared to the corresponding period last year reflects the
addition of Cerro Colorado, Alumbrera and Highland Valley mines following
the acquisition of Rio Algom in October 2000. Slightly lower production
compared to the March quarter was primarily due to lower production at
Escondida as a result of reduced head grades and a major mill shutdown in
June.
* Iron Ore production was in line with the corresponding quarter last year
and 12 per cent higher than the March 2001 quarter. Increased sales were
recorded in all markets, with higher volumes to Chinese, Korean and
Taiwanese customers accounting for the majority of the increase.
BHP Billiton sold a record 71.3 million wet tonnes (100 per cent terms) of
iron ore for the year ended 30 June 2001, an increase of 8.1 million wet
tonnes over the previous twelve-month period. Record Yandi shipments of 30.7
million wet tonnes for the year contributed significantly to this result.
* WA HBI production was higher than the March 2001 quarter reflecting
continued production ramp-up. A new daily production record of 5,460 tonnes
in June 2001 contributed to a record weekly production milestone of 35,305
tonnes. However a fire in May shut down Train 1 for a period of six weeks
and Train 2 for 14 days and significantly impacted production during the
quarter.
* Coking Coal production during the period was 48 per cent higher than the
corresponding quarter last year and 14 per cent higher than the March 2001
quarter. The increase is due to the acquisition of QCT Resources Limited and
higher production from the Blackwater, Goonyella and Riverside mines to make
up for the shortfall from other mines as a result of industrial action
during the year.
* Thermal Coal production during the period was in line with the
corresponding quarter last year and the March 2001 quarter, reflecting the
acquisition of Colombian coal assets CDC, in September 2000 (33.3 per cent
interest), and CZN in November 2000 (16.6 per cent interest). This was
offset, in part, by reduced production in South Africa following the sale of
Glisa Colliery and Matla Coal Mines during the June 2001 quarter.
* Ekati Diamond production was 15 per cent higher than the corresponding
period last year and
14 per cent higher than the March 2001 quarter due to a combination of
higher throughput and higher ore grade. Higher recoveries of low value
diamonds were also recorded during the period from the Panda pipe.
* Oil and Condensate production for the June 2001 quarter was 12 per cent
lower compared to the corresponding period last year and eight per cent
lower than the March 2001 quarter due to natural field decline at Bass
Strait and the one-week shut-in of Laminaria/Corallina in June for scheduled
maintenance. Production was also lower from Griffin due to the shut-in of
the Scindian 3 well since early May. It is expected that the well will
remain shut-in until early 2002. This was offset in part by the purchase of
a 4.95 per cent interest in the Genesis field in January 2000, the
commencement of production at the Keith field in November 2000, and higher
production at Liverpool Bay.
* Natural Gas production for the quarter was 13 per cent higher than the
corresponding period last year and six per cent higher than the March 2001
quarter following the commencement of gas sales into the Eastern Gas
Pipeline and additional nominations to Gascor, Victoria. Production of gas
from the Zamzama field in Pakistan also commenced in March 2001. This was
offset in part by reduced production at the North West Shelf Project
following scheduled maintenance to LNG Train 3 and debottlenecking
activities on the North Rankin A platform.
* Raw Steel production during the quarter was in line with the corresponding
period last year and four per cent higher than the March 2001 quarter. The
performance of the Steel business during the year has been adversely
affected by industrial action and major planned repairs to the Hot Strip
Mill at the Port Kembla Steelworks. Production in the June 2001 quarter was
higher than the March quarter, reflecting the greater number of days lost
due to industrial action during the March quarter.
