Singapore (Platts)–23Sep2013/735 am EDT/1135 GMT
Brazilian mining giant Vale sold at $132.50/dmt CFR China through a spot tender blended iron ore fines for the first time from Sohar, Oman, customers of the miner said Monday.
“This is the first time I have seen Vale offering this new fines blend from Sohar. Previously, it has only offered Iron Ore Sohar fines (IOSO) from Sohar, so this is a totally new blend that we’ve not seen before,” a Shanghai-based customer said.
