Exports Of Australian Iron Ore From Esperance In First Half 2004

摘要

Results of exports from Australia in the first half of 2004 compiled by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) indicate that iron ore exports from Esperance in Western Australia amounted to 2,660 thousand tons (Kt), increasing by 386 Kt (17.0 percent) from 2,280 Kt in the corresponding half in 2003. Approximately 300 Kt were exported from Yampi Sound, with an increase of 77.88 Kt (35.2 percent) compared with 221 Kt in the previous corresponding period. Exports to China have apparently contributed to these increases.
