SYDNEY--Mount Gibson Iron Ltd. (MGX.AU) said iron-ore sales in the first quarter were the second highest in its history, as the company increased output from its Koolan Island operations in Western Australia state.
The Perth-based miner Wednesday reported sales of 2.6 million metric tons in the three months through September. Volumes were up 13% on the previous quarter and just below the record 2.7-million tons of iron ore sold in the three months through December.
Chief Executive Jim Beyer said the company expected sales of 9.0-9.5 million tons in the fiscal year through June, in line with previous guidance given to investors.

Similar fate to AGO today, someone dumping their holdingsAny reason why this one is in the dumps (-6%) today? Last time I checked, iron ore forecasts were still rather sunny. or was MGX priced to perfection at ~1.10?
I did ride this up, but got out as it fell.
My worry is that the mine is running out of iron and will be depleted within 3 years. On that basis the company looks overpriced.
Sure, they say they will make new discoveries or buy other found resources, but the risk seems high. Long term it also looks in a downtrend.
My attention span doesn't stretch that far, Knobby
If it breaks out of the channel - as it seems to do right now - I'm happy to trade it up to the next resistance. Wherever that may be.
