Rio Tinto 1st quarter iron ore shipments drop 8 pct vs 4th quarter

Reuters - UK Focus

SYDNEY, April 15 (Reuters) - World number 2 iron ore producer Rio Tinto (Xetra: 855018 - news) posted an 8 percent drop in first quarter shipments compared with the previous quarter owing to weather-related interruptions in Australia and Canada.

"Production in the first quarter was below fourth quarter levels due to disruptions caused by seasonal weather patterns," Rio Tinto said in releasing its first quarter operations report.
