The mines that are being found are oftentimes smaller, lower grade in tougher jurisdictions, and so it's hard to bring those mines on quickly,&#34; Henry told CNBC.BHP did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
