Project updates

New mineral reserves are becoming harder to find and are often located in remote regions and challenging geologies. It therefore requires the skills and experience of a company like Rio Tinto to find, mine and process them.

Rio Tinto's strategy is to operate large and low-cost assets that have a long-life. We are driven not by choice of commodity but by the quality of each opportunity which is why we are delivering some of the most exciting mining projects in the world.

The major projects on which we are delivering take years, even decades of negotiation, exploration and investment. During the life of the operations we become actively involved in supporting the communities that host our mines and in protecting the environment. And when the mining is complete we leave a legacy - a viable local economy, restoration and revegetation.

Delivering on commitments reinforces our claim to be the operator of choice. Bringing the planning and execution of these projects to fruition acknowledges our proven track record of safety and sustainability.

Such undertakings are further demonstrations of our industry expertise, experience and operational efficiency in developing large ore bodies to harvest long-term value to bring development and prosperity for our stakeholders.
