Mineral Resources releases Q3 report with lower production volumes

Apr 26, 2023

Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN), an Australian mining services company, has released its Quarterly Exploration and Mining Activities Report for Q3 2023. The report revealed that MinRes maintained strong safety performance with no lost time injuries for the quarter. However, the company's production volumes in mining services were lower in Q3 at 52 million tonnes (Mt), following the completion of two external mining contracts.

This resulted in delays in approvals that impacted volumes, reducing MinRes's volume guidance for FY23 to 245-255 Mt from 270-280 Mt. MinRes's iron ore shipments were 4.5 million wet metric tonnes (wmt), up 10% quarter-on-quarter (qoq), and in line with the FY23 guidance of 17.2-18.8 million wmt. The company's average realised iron ore price was AU$109 per dry metric tonne (dmt), representing an 87% realisation of the Platts 62% IODEX. MinRes's spodumene concentrate shipments, on the other hand, increased by 15% qoq, and the Mt Marion expansion progressed and remained in line with the initial budget of AU$120 million.
