As part of its ongoing commitment to delivering timely and useful information on mining, Creamer Media has launched a new monthly report – the Iron-ore Roundup, which is a business and information tool for decision makers involved in the sector. This report, which will be available to subscribers to Creamer Media's Research Channel Africa and Mining Weekly.com Research, will provide readers with a synopsis of mining activity in the iron-ore sector during the past month.

The roundup presents the information in an easy-to-read disaggregated format, covering exploration and feasibility studies, projects, operations, labour and safety, logistics, corporate activity, general trends and supplier news in the sector. Each summary is preceded by a headline, highlighting the country and the type of activity.

The inaugural Iron-ore Roundup includes details of Aquila Resources’ decision to curb expenditure at its West Pilbara iron-ore project; Atlas Iron and Brockman Resources’ alliance study agreement with freight carrier QR National and the approval of Hanlong Mining’s much-delayed $1.3-billion takeover bid for Australian iron-ore developer Sundance Resources.
