Mining Cost Service continues to be a useful reference on a wide range of topics for early stage mine planning through to fill the gaps on more detailed studies. Mining Cost Service provides an independent source for information on equipment, quantities and cost for a significant number of mining methods and range of production rates.
Different percentages of iron content reflect both the natural variation in iron ore grades found in mine deposits and the degree of processing (if any) employed to upgrade the ore for a certain use. In general, higher purity ores help increase hot metal yields in the blast furnace, and also lower production cost by reducing the amount of coke required.
The table below shows iron ores fall below 50 a tonne is significant as it ups the pressure on miners margins. According to the table, at the current 48 tonne price, Fortescue, Mount Gibson, BC Iron and Grange Resources arent making a profit in the current market.
This presentation and accompanying Excel data provide an iron ore cost curve for 70 mines contributing to over 90% of the seaborne iron ore market, with breakdown of costs into mining, processing, admin, freight and royalties.

2019 has been a very good year for iron ore producers. Prices for 62% Fe fines have averaged US93/tonne (CFR China) and operators cash margins have risen to 58%.

According to Metal Bulletin, the spot price for benchmark 62% iron ore fines stood at a tonne last Friday. In comparison, the price for lower grade 58% fines is currently significantly lower at a tonne. The vast majority of the iron ore industry is unsurprisingly in

#0183;#32;Timetrics Mining Intelligence Centre (MIC) has released its global iron ore cost estimates, highlighting the costs per tonne of iron ore operations. The analysis covers 70 iron ore operations
Yeartodate production is 175Mt, or 198Mt on a basis, after a flat March production result of 56Mt. BHP increased its iron ore unit cost guidance from below US14 per tonne to below 15/t.
As strip ratios often determine the economic feasibility of an iron ore deposit, low strip ratios will ensure most operations have low mining costs per tonne. BHPs Yandi is the lowest cost operation, yielding an estimated FOB cost of US per tonne last year, followed by Rios Messa operations. Both mines are in the WAs Pilbara region.
