Rio Tinto ‘growing with discipline’, says CEO

Australia-headquartered mining major Rio Tinto is continuing to grow in the materials the world needs for the energy transition and is doing so “with discipline”, CEO Jakob Stausholm said on Tuesday.

Construction of the Simandou high-grade iron-ore project, in Guinea, is advancing at pace, the ramp-up of the Oyu Tolgoi underground copper mine, in Mongolia, is on track and Rio Tinto is set to produce first lithium from the Rincon starter plant by year-end.
