BHP Billiton Limited
(ASX:BHP) has reported record iron ore production in the three months to September.
The miner announced a 7 percent increase in quarterly iron ore production to a record 61.3 million tonnes.
BHP attributed the result to a ramp-up of the Jimblebar mining hub in Western Australia during the 2015 financial year.
The company has maintained production guidance across all businesses. BHP Billiton CEO Andrew Mackenzie said the company remains on track to meet full-year production and cost guidance after a solid operational performance this quarter.
BHP Billiton recorded a net profit of $3.74 billion at 30 June 2015.
