Rio Tinto's third-quarter report for 2025 showed that the third-quarter shipment volume of Pilbara iron ore reached the second highest level since 2019, an increase of 6% from the second quarter to 84.3 million tons; the output was 84.1 million tons. Due to the impact of tropical cyclones in the first quarter, which lost 1300 tons of shipments (about half of production has now been restored), the annual Pilbara iron ore shipments are expected to be 323-338 million tons, which will be at a low level within the guidance target. The current operating system is still in a tight balance and its ability to mitigate further losses is limited, so strong performance is needed in the fourth quarter. As part of an iron ore capacity replacement strategy, the West Angeles Maintaining Project received all government approvals in October.
