TOKYO, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Marubeni Corp 8002.T , which holds a stake in the $10 billion Roy Hill iron ore mine under construction in Australia, now expects the first shipment from the mine by the end of 2015, not earlier target of October, Chief Financial Officer Yukihiko Matsumura said on Thursday.
The Japanese trading firm has no plan to book an impairment loss on the mine despite slumping prices of iron ore, he said.
