MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia's Fortescue Metals Group said that it had no capacity at its ore processing facilities to immediately add 'material' iron ore volumes, after a dam tailings burst in Brazil raised uncertainty over global supply.
"In the short-term, there is not necessarily the capacity to add material incremental volumes, but I think like everybody else we would look at opportunities where we can to add tonnes," Chief Executive Elizabeth Gaines told media on a results call on Wednesday.
Capacity bottlenecks centre on its ore processing facilities, rather than rail or port facilities, she added.
