BHP Group published its Q1 FY27 operational review on October 20, 2026, reporting that its Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) operations achieved a 4% year-on-year increase in iron ore production to 64.3 million metric tonnes (BHP share) for the quarter ended September 30. Total production on a 100% basis reached 71.9 million tonnes, driven by record throughput across both mine and port infrastructure. Full-year FY27 production guidance for WAIO remains unchanged at 255 to 265.5 million tonnes (BHP share), maintaining stable seaborne supply to global steelmakers. [SMM Iron Ore]
