Rio Tinto building, Perth, Australia

U.K.-based miner Rio Tinto Group has declared force majeure after cyclone Veronica disrupted some iron ore shipments from its Cape Lambert A port facility in Western Australia, Australian Mining reported. Rio Tinto said that the disruption would result in around 14 million tons of lost production. The cyclone struck northwestern Australia between Karratha and Port Hedland on March 24, forcing several miners including Australia-based Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. and BHP Group to suspend their operations in the Pilbara region.
