I saw a good news for all iron miner.
The company agreed to a 79.88 per cent price rise for Pilbara blend fines and Yandicoogina fines, and a 96.5 per cent price rise for Pilbara blend lump for the fiscal year 2008.
"This is an extremely healthy price for Rio Tinto. It's about $US14 higher than we had expected," said John Meyer, head of resources at Fairfax I.S. in London.
Industry sources told The Australian Financial Review newspaper the increase would boost the iron ore price to around $US72.50 a tonne, and could increase national export earnings from iron ore to $US24.6 billion if BHP Billiton and other local miners secured the same price.
But I do not quite understand the following
"The new reference prices per dry metric tonne Fe unit for 2008 are $US1.4466 for iron ore fines, and $US2.0169 for iron ore lump, Baosteel said."
Does anyone can give me a hint what that mean?
