Market conditions softened through the quarter as weaker Chinese steel production, compressed mill margins and strong seaborne supply weighed on prices, but despite these headwinds, Kumba continued to realise a premium to benchmark prices, underpinned by the quality of its lump iron-ore products and its diversified customer base.]]></description>
