The are more than dual listed, they are also on the NZX (New Zealand Exchange) under "RIO" code, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.3.3 (talk) 01:08, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comalco actually only has 2 aluminium smelters in Australia, the third is on Tiwai Point on the southern tip of New Zealand. This New Zealand smelter produces some of the purist aluminium in the world.
I'm new to the whole wiki thing so thought I'd just post a comment to point this out. Hope someone who knows what they're doing can add this to the page.

A press release describing the agreement between Ascendant Copper and Rio Tinto is available at the time of writing at http://www.ascendantcopper.com/pdf/06-14%20RTZ%20Joint%20Venture.pdf. A careful reading of this document indicates that the agreement relates to the purchase for $50,000 by Ascendant Copper of the right for five years to examine geological and other data collected by Rio Tinto between 1990 and 1997. The agreement does not commit Rio Tinto to any further expenditure in Ecuador nor does it commit Rio Tinto to make investments in any property identified by Ascendant Copper as being worthy of further investigation or development. Consequently the description which I removed (“Rio Tinto and Ascendant Copper announced a joint exploration program for exploring copper in western Ecuador”) is inaccurate. I make no comment on the ethics or otherwise of Ascendant Copper but I would have thought that such comments should be placed on a page relating to that company.

The alleged shipments of copper to Germany in 1937-38 are discussed in David Avery’s book “Not on Queen Victoria’s Birthday: the Story of the Rio Tinto Mines” (Collins, London, 1974, p.378) He reports that investigations by the Burgos government and subsequently by a subcommittee of the Rio Tinto board indicated that no such shipments had taken place. It is certainly true that large tonnages of pyrites were requisitioned by the Nationalists and were shipped to Germany “despite the protests of the company”. In case you view that history as suspect (being commissioned by Rio Tinto), another source is Charles Harvey’s excellent book “The Rio Tinto Company” (Alison Hodge, Penzance, 1981) where more detailed data on the requisitions, together with the manner in which they were carried out, can be found. A reading of this material indicates that the situation was quite complex. The text I deleted gave a misleading (by being overly simplistic) description of actual events, as well as being inaccurate (pyrites were shipped to Germany, not copper).

A recent edit has attempted to add the word "dictatorial" in describing Franco. There are two issues with this. First, a dictator is not the same thing as dictatorial. But the main issue is that the sentence is based on a reference. Unless the reference says that Franco was dictatorial, it is not an appropriate addition, but becomes POV by the editor. Given the context in this article, is it even necessary? hamiltonstone (talk) 12:07, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The Rio Tinto espionage case article is very outdated and has insufficient information for an article of that complexity. Likewise, the Stern Hu article has too much information not related to the biography of Stern Hu, but directly related to the Rio Tinto espionage case. Both articles are extremely outdated. I would appreciate any help in improving those 2 articles. Capital Markets (talk) 12:36, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to review edit request
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.
In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.
Request edit examples |

In the example above there are three URL's provided along with vague assertions on what is to be changed. The implication is that the COI editor provides the directions and the references, while the reviewer consults the references and makes the decision on what should be said. This is generally not how edit requests work. The COI editor is to provide a verbatim description of the changes to be made, while the reviewer consults the references to determine the validity of the requested changes. Furthermore, the changes need to include the references used inserted according to the citation style used by the article. In the above example, the URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Rio Tinto Group article. Additionally, the references have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct citation style and the correct positioning of the ref notes along with a verbatim description of the text would have a properly formatted request resembling the following:
In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the reference notes are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. Thirdly, the verbatim text for how it should appear in the article is listed by the COI editor. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review. |
Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards, Spintendo 06:54, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Updates to the “Rio Tinto Group” section (multiple references):
Since then, the company has grown through a long series of mergers and acquisitions to place itself among the world leaders in the production of many commodities, including aluminium, iron ore, copper, uranium, diamonds.[5] "Rio Tinto Chartbook" (PDF). riotinto.com. Rio Tinto. August 2018. Retrieved 26 October 2018. : 6

Updates to the "Operations" section:
Rio Tinto's main business is the production of raw materials including copper, iron ore, bauxite, diamonds, uranium, and industrial minerals including titanium dioxide, salt, gypsum, and borates.[6]
Updates to the “Copper and byproducts: Rio Tinto Copper” section:
Copper & Diamonds [7]
Rio Tinto has four copper assets in production: Rio Tinto Kennecott in the United States, Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia, Escondida in Chile and Grasberg in Indonesia. [8]
Updates to the “Aluminium and related products” section:
“Aluminium” [9]
The Rio Tinto Group has consolidated its aluminium-related businesses in its Aluminium product group [10], formed in late 2007, when Rio Tinto purchased the Canadian company Alcan for $38.1 billion.
Rio Tinto divides its Aluminium operations into three main areas – bauxite, alumina and primary metal.[11]
The bauxite operations provide 25 per cent [12] of the world’s bauxite needs from mines in Australia, Brazil, and Africa. [13]
The alumina operations then refines the bauxite into alumina at refineries located in Australia, Brazil and Canada. [14]
Finally, the Engineered Products unit processes aluminium into derivative products for speciality uses ranging from beverage containers to aerospace applications.[72] [15]
Updates to “Coal and Uranium: Rio Tinto Energy” section
Energy & Minerals [16]
Rio Tinto’s Energy & Minerals product group comprises mining, refining and marketing operations in 14 countries, across six sectors: borates, iron ore concentrate and pellets, salt, titanium dioxide and uranium. The Energy & Minerals group also includes the Jadar lithium-borate project in Serbia and the Simandou iron ore project in Guinea.[18]
Rio Tinto completed the sale of its coal assets in August 2018.[19]
Rio Tinto Minerals is a diverse business group with mining and processing interest in borates, salt, and gypsum.
Titanium dioxide is mined at three locations in Canada, South Africa, and Madagascar, and refined at QIT-Fer et Titane's Canadian facilities.[82] Major subsidiaries include Richards Bay Minerals of South Africa and QIT Madagascar Minerals.[83] In 2008, Rio Tinto produced 1.524 million tonnes of titanium dioxide,[5] or approximately 27% of the estimated global production of 5.6 million tonnes.[84]
Suggested edits to the “Diamonds: Rio Tinto Diamonds” section:
Rio Tinto Diamonds operates two diamond mines: the Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia (100% ownership), the Diavik Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories of Canada (60% ownership) [20]
Together, these two mines [21] produce 20% of the world's annual production of rough diamonds,[77] making Rio Tinto the world's third-largest producer of mined diamonds.[68]
In 2017, Rio Tinto gifted the Bunder diamond project in India to the Government of Madhya Pradesh.[22]
Suggested edits to the “Iron products and titanium: Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium” section:
Iron ore
Suggest the following sentence is deleted, based on the above and referenced sources:
Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium (RTIT) oversees the company's iron and titanium production. RTIT generated a large portion of the company's revenues and earnings in 2008, accounting for 27% and 52%, respectively, of company-wide operating results.[7]
The company also runs smelting facilities for the production of iron and steel—limited in size in comparison to the massive amount of iron ore produced—at QIT-Fer et Titane in Canada [82].
In July 2018, Rio Tinto delivered its first iron ore by an autonomous train in the Pilbara, Western Australia. [30]
Updates to Environment section:
Please add the following sentence:
In September 2018, Rio Tinto announced it had signed a binding agreement to sell its entire interest in the Grasberg mine to Indonesia’s state mining company, PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persaro) (Inalum). [31]

Hi Spintendo, I've updated the first edit in the list above with new source formatting. Can you please confirm this formatting is correct before I continue with the remaining edits? I've used a CS1 template. I note it doesn't appear in the reference list. Appreciate any tips. Thanks, Michelle

{{rp}}
is not evident. I thank Þjarkur for their assistance, and I'll reiterate that I'd be happy to review the request if it were placed in the correct citation style with the page numbers delineated. I'm not prepared to carry out extensive rewrites of the article's citation style myself—including inserting that style along with the correct page numbers for each and every ref tag which appears in the article — a process which would take at least an hour. The COI editor — who is paid to edit the article — needs to perform this work themselves and then present it here so that it may be reviewed and placed into the article by a reviewer. Michelle has been informed of this requirement twice since October, now makes it three times. As I said earlier, when ready to proceed with the requested changes, kindly open a new edit request at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

Mining giant Rio Tinto has apologised for blowing up 46,000-year-old Aboriginal caves in Western Australia dating back to the last Ice Age.
The Juukan Gorge caves, in the Pilbara region, were destroyed last Sunday as Rio Tinto expanded an iron ore project agreed with the authorities.
Many prehistoric artefacts have been found at the remote heritage site.

I and others have been adding bits to this article, the section on Juukan Gorge in the Hammersley Ranges (the redirect target at the moment), and at Australian Aboriginal sacred site. As this incident and its ramifications are likely to continue for a while, I'm thinking that maybe it needs its own article where one main source of the detail can be maintained, with just a brief summary paragraph from each of the other articles. What do people think? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:18, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the lucrative mining projects are no longer in hydrocarbon extraction, as the world demands "clean" technologies, and thus lithium, nickel, cobalt, rare earths, but also copper extraction is soaring. The definition of "green" is to be discussed, and the same discussion is going on in seminars and corporate meetings. We can't have everything, on the one hand, we dislike Serbia's affiliation with Russia and the "bad guys", on the other, we crave their lithium....This mine would not be built if Europe or America didn't demand it, call the faked protesters back, the media hype...Osterluzei (talk) 03:45, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Roughly 3400 words of this 8300 page article are criticism, including half the intro. Like other corporation articles on Wikipedia, it reads like a biography of Hillary Clinton written by Rush Limbaugh. The criticisms include meaningless remarks such as "Some academics have expressed concern...." (surely with 100,000 academics worldwide, this is a given. Is it notable?) and "Rio Tinto has been criticized by environmental groups..." (is there any natural resources company that hasn't been?) and ridiculously petty criticisms such as "Its has been widely reported that more can be done to improve the mental health of fly-in fly-out workers in the mining industry...".
Contrast this article with that on North Korea, widely considered to have one of the most oppressive governments in the world. This 13800 word article contains about 1500 words of criticism, the vast majority of which is caveated with phrases like "it has been alleged that..." and extensive quotes from people defending the government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9000:9100:1503:B1EE:1811:BEFC:A783 (talk) 14:56, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
