SYDNEY-- Rio Tinto PLC (RIO.LN) said it has suspended some
iron-ore mining and rail operations in northwest Australia as a
tropical cyclone batters the country's coastline.
The world's second-largest iron-ore exporter, which cleared
ships from its Cape Lambert and Dampier ports three days ago ahead
of the cyclone, said on Sunday it has suspended mining at its Robe
Valley operations and has also stopped rail haulage in the Pilbara
mining region.
Australia's weather bureau said the core of Tropical Cyclone
Veronica reached land on Sunday, bringing destructive winds and
heavy rainfall. It is expected to remain near the coast before
weakening later in the day and through Monday, the Bureau of
Meteorology said.
