Anglo American platinum production plunges
Anglo American platinum production slipped 40% in the second quarter year-over-year due to five-month strikes in South Africa. Iron ore production, on the other hand, increased 2% from the same period and rose up to 11.5 million metric tons. The output of copper expanded 6% to 194.000 tons due to improved productivity in Chile.
