07:20 AM EST, 11/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- BHP (BHP) is facing an expanded product ban in China after a state owned iron ore buyer ordered steel mills and traders to stop buying Jinbao fines, a low-grade iron ore product, Reuters reported Thursday citing sources.
China Mineral Resources Group told buyers this week to halt new cargoes of Jinbao fines, adding to an existing ban on another BHP product.
BHP did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
