Ukraine power shortage hits production at iron ore miner Ferrexpo

Ukrainian iron ore miner Ferrexpo has cut its December production outlook due to lower power supplies and will reduce spot sales to give priority to long-term contracts if the situation continues in the first quarter of 2015. The group, majority owned by Ukrainian billionaire Kostyantin Zhevago said this month's total pellet production was expected to be 140,000 tonnes lower than previous estimates.
