Glencore a abordat Rio Tinto anul trecut pentru o potentiala fuziune intre cei doi mari producatori de cupru, dar discutiile au fost scurte si nu s-au concretizat. O astfel de fuziune, cu o valoare combinata de 158 mld. USD, ar fi cea mai mare din industria miniera. Rio ar putea fi interesata de activele de cupru ale Glencore din Chile si Peru, dar mai putin de operatiunile din Congo sau afacerea cu carbune.

Rio Tinto a decis sa reduca dividendul cu mai mult de jumatate fata de ultimul nivel, pana la 4.92 USD/actiune. Decizia vine dupa ce compania de minerit a raportat un profit net anual mai mic cu 38%, pentru anul 2022, afectat de scaderea pretului minereului de fier si a unei cererii reduse din partea Chinei.

Rio Tinto (RIO.AX), (RIO.L) forecast annual iron ore shipments at the lower end of its guidance on Tuesday, after third-quarter iron ore deliveries fell amid weak global demand, particularly in top metals consumer China. Rio has been battling with a surge in production costs, while iron ore prices are on track to end 2022 at their lowest in the last three or four years, as China and Europe cut steel output amid mounting pressure from additional supply. 
The company raised annual cost estimates for copper to between 150 cents and 170 cents per pound from 130 cents to 150 cents a pound, but lowered its annual refined copper production guidance to 190,000 to 220,000 tonnes, from 230,000 to 290,000 tonnes. 
It also lowered its capital investments for 2022 by $500 million to $7.0 billion, due to a stronger U.S. dollar and "reassessment on timing of decarbonisation investment". Separately, Rio said it would "modernise" a nearly 50-year-old agreement with Wright Prospecting to develop the Rhodes Ridge iron ore project, and aims to operationalise a plant by this decade end, with an initial annual capacity of up to 40 Mt.

Rio Tinto has agreed to pay $3.3bn to take full ownership of Canadian miner Turquoise Hill, giving it greater control over the vast Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia. Turquoise Hill holds 66 per cent of the Oyu Tolgoi project, one of the worldâs largest known copper and gold deposits located in the Gobi desert. 
The Mongolian government owns the remaining stake in the project. Rio Tinto chief executive Jakob Stausholm said the deal âwill simplify governance, improve efficiency and create greater certainty of funding for the long-term success of the Oyu Tolgoi projectâ. 
It will make the site one of the biggest copper mines in the world, producing at peak capacity 500,000 tonnes of the metal annually.

Rio Tinto on Friday warned that COVID 19-related labour shortages in the resource-rich state of Western Australia and rising inflation would impact its underlying earnings in the second half, knocking its stock lower. 
The global miner reported misses across the board in its second-quarter update on output, but it maintained guidance on its full-year iron ore shipments at 320-335 million tonnes (Mt) as it expects its newly opened Gudai-Darri mine in the Pilbara region to continue to raise production and reach full capacity by 2023.
Rio Tinto (UK.RIO) (US.RIO) reported Q2 iron ore shipments of 79.9Mt, up 5% over the prior corresponding period and 12% Q/Q. 
The mining giant, reported a 4% Q/Q increase in bauxite production to 14.1Mt, a 1% lift in mined copper production to 126kt, and a 1% decline in aluminium production to 731kt. 
1H iron shipments was 151.4Mt, which is down 2% over the prior corresponding period, driven by skilled labour supply constraints, COVID-19 disruptions, first quarter delays of mine replacement projects, and significantly higher than average rainfall in May. 
Rio Tinto has reaffirmed the majority of its guidance for FY 2022: Full year iron ore shipments guidance remains unchanged at at 320Mt to 335Mt.

Rio Tinto Group has offered to buy out Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. for $2.7 billion in attempt to gain control of a giant copper mine itâs developing in Mongolia. Rio has had a troubled relationship with Turquoise Hill around how it will fund its share of the cost of developing the project.
âThe proposed transaction would enable Rio Tinto to work directly with the government of Mongolia to move the Oyu Tolgoi project forward with a simpler and more efficient ownership and governance structure,â Rioâs Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said in a statement Monday.
Rio Tinto became the first major mining company to cut ties with Russian businesses and Japan's Sony and Nintendo suspended deliveries of their gaming consoles, joining a global corporate exodus from Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
Rioâs underlying earnings surged 72% from a year earlier to $21.4 billion, it said in a statement on Wednesday. The company will reward shareholders with dividends totaling $7.7 billion. Like many of its rivals, Rio is seeking to grow in commodities that are key for the green energy transition, like copper and lithium, though itâs still heavily dependent on iron ore.
