South32 Q1 manganese ore output jumps 11 pct on strong demand

Oct (Shenzhen: 000069.SZ - news) 19 (Reuters) - South32 Ltd (Berlin: 32Z.BE - news) , the world’s biggest producer of manganese ore, on Thursday said first-quarter output for the metal rose 11 percent from a year ago, helped by strong market demand.

Coking coal production dropped to 494,000 tonnes in the September quarter from 1.4 million tonnes a year earlier, owing to technical problems at its Appin mine in Australia, the company said. (Reporting by Chris Thomas in Bengaluru; editing by James Regan, G Crosse)
