South32 misses output estimates, puts Colombia nickel unit under review

The miner on Monday posted a near 50% drop in second-quarter metallurgical coal output as it completed major work at an underground mine at its Illawarra operation, while its quarterly manganese production also missed estimates.

South32 said it had also commenced a strategic review of its nickel operation Cerro Matoso in Columbia to evaluate options to improve its competitive position amid a sharp downturn in the nickel market.
