July 17 (Reuters) - BHP Group Ltd BHP.AX , the world's biggest miner, reported a 1% drop in fourth-quarter iron ore production on Wednesday, hurt by a tropical cyclone in Western Australia that disrupted production and exports.
The Anglo-Australian miner's iron ore output fell to 71 million tonnes during the three months ended June 30, compared with 72 million tonnes a year earlier. The figure was lower than a UBS estimate of 72.6 million tonnes. Source Text https://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=pdf&idsId=02123829
