1. BHP Billiton hopes to increase its iron ore export capacity by 14 per cent to 330 million tonnes

BHP Billiton said recently that it would begin talks on the possibility of increasing iron ore exports. The company hopes to increase its Australian iron ore export capacity by 14 per cent, in a sign of its return to significant growth ambitions. It is understood that BHP Billiton is currently allowed to export 290 million tons of iron ore a year from Port Hedland in Western Australia. If market conditions permit, it hopes to eventually raise this limit to 330 million tons. If the company meets its fiscal 2020 export target of 273 million to 286 million tons, it will set a new record. At present, the plan is in a very preliminary stage and a lengthy approval process. To get approval from Western Australian regulators, BHP Billiton will need to convince local communities near Port Hedland that it can control dust pollution from the port. BHP Billiton said on Tuesday (April 28) that it would invest $300m in dustproof projects at Port Hedland.
