Oct 15 (Reuters) – Rio Tinto RIO.AX, RIO.L on Friday reduced its 2021 iron ore shipments forecast, partly due to delays in the completion of a new greenfield mine at Gudai-Darri in Western Australia, hit by a tighter labour market in the region.
The miner now expects 2021 Pilbara iron ore shipments between 320 million tonnes (mt) to 325 mt, down from the lower end of a previous range of 325 mt to 340 mt.
