Jan 17 (Reuters) - Rio Tinto (RIO) on Tuesday said its shipments of iron ore rose slightly in the final quarter of 2022, benefiting from a continued ramp-up at its Gudai-Darri mine in Western Australia.
The Anglo-Australian miner, which looks set to keep its position as the world's biggest iron ore producer, said the Gudai-Darri mine is expected to reach its nameplate capacity on a sustained basis during 2023.
Iron ore shipments for the final quarter of 2022 were 87.3 million tonnes (Mt), a 3.8% rise. This made for full-year shipments of 321.6 Mt, beating a Visible Alpha consensus estimate of 320.2 Mt.
Rio Tinto maintained its full-year iron ore shipments forecast of 320 Mt to 335 Mt.
For mined copper, Rio raised its 2023 production guidance to 600 thousand tonnes (kt) to 655 kt, up from a prior guidance of 550 kt to 600 kt.
