April 21 (Reuters) - Global miner BHP Group Ltd said on Friday its third-quarter iron ore output fell 0.7% from
a year earlier, hurt by a 24-hour suspension of its Western
Australia operations due to a fatality at the site.
The world's largest listed miner said iron ore production
from mines it operates in Western Australia was 66.2 million
tonnes (Mt) during the three months ended March 31, compared
with 66.7 Mt a year earlier and a Morgan Stanley estimate of
67.4 Mt.
