(ASX:IPL) announced it will cease to be the contracted supplier for the Roy Hill iron ore mine in the Pilbara region in Western Australia, estimated to have approximately an $81 million impact until FY22.
The company will cease to supply explosives products and services due to the expiry of its current contract with the mine.
