Even junior miners Atlas Iron (ASX: AGO) and BC Iron ( ASX: BCI ) are increasing their production of the commodity. Foolish takeaway As CEO Nev Power has said, this marks a turning point for Fortescue. If the iron ore price remains strong over the next few years, the company should easily be able to make its debt repayment schedule, and the current share price may appear cheap. The big risk is that the iron ore price does crash – putting Fortescue at risk of having to raise equity, or in a worst case scenario, folding completely.
