Rio Tinto和BHP计划联合从西澳大利亚州矿场中提取2亿吨铁矿石,目标是2030年代初生产。 Rio Tinto and BHP plan to jointly extract 200 million tons of iron ore from Western Australia mines, aiming for early 2030s production.

里奥丁托(Rio Tinto)和BHP(BHP)已同意探讨合作,从西澳大利亚州邻近的皮尔巴拉(Pilbara)矿场中提取多达2亿公吨铁矿石, 重点是Rio Wunbye(Wunbye)矿藏和BHP(Yandi)下水道矿藏。 Rio Tinto and BHP have agreed to explore a collaboration to extract up to 200 million metric tons of iron ore from their neighboring Pilbara mines in Western Australia, focusing on Rio’s Wunbye deposit and BHP’s Yandi Lower Channel deposit. 非约束性协议旨在利用共享基础设施,以最低限度的新投资促进生产,有可能促成20世纪30年代初的首次产出。 The nonbinding agreements aim to leverage shared infrastructure to boost production with minimal new investment, potentially enabling first output in the early 2030s. 这一行动是继2023年联合采矿协议之后采取的,是在中国的压力下采取的,中国主导了全球铁矿石需求。 The move follows a 2023 joint mining agreement and comes amid pressure from China, which dominates global iron-ore demand. 两家公司都依赖铁矿石赚取一半以上的收入,它们也正在向铜的多样化发展。 Both companies, reliant on iron ore for over half their earnings, are also diversifying into copper. 预计这一伙伴关系将在不断变化的市场中提高效率和竞争力。 The partnership is expected to enhance efficiency and competitiveness in a shifting market.
