E-mails and calls to China General Nuclear’s spokesman weren’t immediately answered..

Iron ore price crashes through $60

Frik Els | March 5, 2015

The decline in the price of iron ore accelerated on Thursday with the steelmaking raw material plummeting 4.5% as prospects for China's economy and its steelmaking industry become grimmer.

The 62% Fe benchmark import price including freight and insurance at the port of Tianjin tracked by The SteelIndex lost $2.80 or 4.5% to $59.30 a tonne on Monday.
