BHP Billiton has slashed 170 jobs at its massive Mt Whaleback iron ore mine in Western Australia's Pilbara region, saying the cuts are part of the company's bid to increase export volumes while reducing costs.
The mining giant said it would assist affected employees through the process and seek redeployment opportunities where possible.
BHP Billiton said its iron ore unit regularly undertook reviews to ensure it was operating as efficiently as possible.
"This includes reviewing the size and structure of our workforce to ensure it supports the delivery of our productivity agenda," the company said in an emailed statement.
"We have been open with our employees about the work being done to improve productivity."
BHP Billiton last week axed about 100 staff from its iron ore division headquarters in Perth.
Chief executive Andrew Mackenzie last week told reporters in Beijing that the iron ore market was oversupplied.
"We don't quite see the case for the scale of investment we saw in the last 10 years," he said.
