Rio Tinto PLC (RIO.LN) cut its forecast for project spending in 2016 by at least 13% and vowed to deepen a productivity drive in the years ahead.

The company on Thursday projected capital expenditure of less than US$3.5 billion for this year, down from a previous forecast of around US$4 billion. It retained forecasts of US$5 billion and US$5.5 billion for the coming two years, respectively.

The mining giant, which reaffirmed plans to return 40%-60% of underlying earnings to shareholders over the long term, also said it expects to generate US$5 billion of additional free cash flow in the next five years from a push to improve productivity across its operations.

Rio Tinto said that target was in addition to a cost-reduction target of US$2 billion for this year and next.
