截至12月底的三个月内，全球最大的矿业公司必和必拓(BHP.US)第二财季生产铁矿石6970万吨，比去年同期增长5%，并重申了其年度产量预期。该矿商将本财年铁矿石产量的预测维持在 2.84 亿至 2.96 亿吨不变，并指出上半财年强劲的产量使其在通常多雨的第三财季开局良好。铁矿石实际价格小幅上涨至每吨84.71美元。
而铜产量下降4%，至49.05万吨。铜和钾肥被视为公司未来增长的关键驱动力。必和必拓的Jansen项目是钾肥的重要来源，预计将于2027年中期投产。但该公司表示，成本将再次上涨至84亿美元，比7月份公布的已上调成本范围上限高出10亿美元。
必和必拓还上调了其铜产量预期的下限。该公司目前预计，在截至6 月30日的财政年度内，铜产量将在 190 万至 200 万吨之间，略高于此前预计的 180 万至 200 万吨。该公司表示，产量预期的这一调整是由于其铜矿资产的运营表现强劲所致。
