Rio Tinto and China’s State Power Investment Corporation
partner to trial battery swap truck technology
06 November 2024
ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rio Tinto will partner with China’s State Power
Investment Corporation (SPIC) to demonstrate battery swap electric haul truck technology at the Oyu
Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia.
Battery swapping technology allows a battery electric vehicle to quickly exchange a discharged battery
pack for a fully charged one, instead of recharging the vehicle at a static charging station.
The technology is already applied on haul trucks in mining operations across China, and this
collaboration will enable Rio Tinto to demonstrate a complete battery electric truck and charging
ecosystem at one of its operations.
The two-year project will demonstrate eight mining haul trucks (91 tonne payload), 13 batteries
(800kWh), and a robotic battery swap and charging station in non-production activities in the
aboveground operations at Oyu Tolgoi.
Rio Tinto operates about 700 haul trucks across its global operations, of which 100 are classified as
small or medium class (100 – 200 tonne payload).
Rio Tinto Chief Decarbonisation Officer Jonathon McCarthy said: “By partnering with the State Power
Investment Corporation, we will be demonstrating the latest technology and innovation available in
China and assessing its potential to help decarbonise our operations quickly and cost effectively.
“This demonstration will allow us to explore applications for battery swap technology that deliver more
flexibility and less downtime than current static charging technologies. This work will complement the
electrification pilots of ultra class mining haul trucks planned for the Pilbara.
“We look forward to partnering on more opportunities in the future to apply China’s innovations to the
global resources sector and contribute to the world’s low-carbon transition.”
Chairman of State Power Investment Group Capital Holding Co., Ltd Han Zhiwei said: “Through our
collaboration with Rio Tinto, we are bringing leading green transportation innovations to the
international market, showcasing the strength of Chinese enterprises in the field of green technology
innovation. We hope our low-carbon technologies will assist Rio Tinto in achieving its decarbonisation
targets, and we look forward to continued cooperation between both parties to jointly promote the
application of green energy.”
Media Release
Oyu Tolgoi Chief Executive Officer Deirdre Lingenfelder said: “We are proud the Oyu Tolgoi team is
playing a pivotal role in advancing this innovative technology on behalf of Rio Tinto. This project
represents a significant step in our ongoing decarbonisation journey, aligning closely with Oyu Tolgoi’s
strategic commitment to sustainable growth. By expanding our use of underground battery electric
equipment and implementing other emissions reduction initiatives, we are actively driving progress
toward a net zero-carbon future for our operations.”
Technical experts from Rio Tinto and Oyu Tolgoi have worked closely with SPIC and truck manufacturer
Tonly to adjust equipment design to align with Rio Tinto electrical and truck safety requirements. The
trucks will perform tailings dam rehabilitation work and topsoil movement and be operated and
maintained by Oyu Tolgoi personnel.
Each battery is expected to last up to 8 hours, depending on the work performed, and the battery swap
process takes around 7 minutes, enabling increased use of the equipment through minimal charging
downtime. The first truck is ready to arrive at Oyu Tolgoi this year and the remaining seven trucks,
along with the battery swap and charging infrastructure, will be in operation by mid-2025.
Rio Tinto is committed to reaching net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 and believes Chinese
innovation and technologies can play an important role in achieving this.

Rio Tinto approves new solar plant to power Kennecott
13 November 2024
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rio Tinto has approved construction of a new 25-
megawatt solar plant at its Kennecott copper operation in Utah, bringing the mine’s total solar
capacity to 30MW.
The new solar plant will be located next to Kennecott’s existing 5MW solar plant, which was
completed in 2023. Together, the two solar plants will reduce Kennecott’s Scope 2 emissions by
approximately 6%, or 21,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. This is equivalent to
removing around 5,000 gas-powered passenger cars from the road.
Construction of the 25MW solar plant is expected to be completed next year and create short-term
employment opportunities for up to 100 laborers, as well as a small number of long-term
operations and maintenance roles. Bechtel Corporation will design and manage construction of the
plant.
Kennecott, which already has one of the lowest carbon footprints of any copper producer in the
U.S., has reduced its carbon footprint more than 80% since 2018 through initiatives such as
closing its coal-powered power plant, building a 5MW solar farm, transitioning the mining fleet to
renewable diesel, and using battery electric vehicles in underground mining.
Rio Tinto Kennecott Managing Director Nate Foster said: “Expanding our solar farm is the latest
step in our journey to reduce our carbon footprint. Together with other measures we’ve taken, such
as closing a coal-fired power plant, deploying battery electric vehicles underground, and our recent
transition to renewable diesel, we have reduced our emissions by millions of tons over the past few
years.
“We’re demonstrating every day that sustainable practices and resource production can go hand-
in-hand to benefit our company as well as our community.”
The 210-acre solar array will include more than 71,000 panels, which contain tellurium produced
by Kennecott, a byproduct of mining and refining copper. In 2022, Kennecott became one of only
two U.S. producers of this critical mineral. Both copper and tellurium are vital components of
photovoltaic solar panels.
Notes to editors
Rio Tinto has committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, on the way to
net zero by 2050. While 72% of the electricity the company uses comes from renewable sources,
our current focus is on replacing electricity generated from gas and coal with solutions like solar
PV, wind, and other renewable technologies. This shift will significantly reduce emissions across
our mines, processing plants, and supporting infrastructure, and enable lower generation costs
than fossil fuel alternatives.

Rio Tinto and GravitHy join forces to accelerate the
decarbonisation of steelmaking in Europe
15 November 2024
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rio Tinto has entered into definitive agreements with GravitHy, an
early-stage industrial company, to help accelerate GravitHy’s steel decarbonisation project in France.
As part of this collaboration, Rio Tinto will supply high-grade direct reduction iron ore pellets from its
Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) operations to GravitHy’s planned operation, as well as manage the
sales and marketing of ultra-low carbon Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) GravitHy produces.
GravitHy's proposed two million tonnes per year iron production facility at Fos-sur-Mer, France, is
planned to be commissioned in 2028. The facility, which is located next to a deep seaport, will feature
ultra-low carbon hydrogen production infrastructure, powered by existing grid-connected nuclear power,
to process direct reduction pellets into HBI. This process has the potential to reduce ironmaking-related
CO2 emissions by more than 90%.
Steel produced with low-carbon emissions is an essential component of the net-zero energy transition.
The production of iron and steel contributes around 8% of global carbon emissions and requires new
technologies, redesigned processes, and new infrastructure to decarbonise.
GravitHy Chief Executive Officer José Noldin said: “We are developing one of the most advanced ultra-
low-carbon iron projects worldwide, designated by the French government as an ‘Industrial Project of
Major National Interest’. By combining our business ambitions, agility, and technological capabilities
with Rio Tinto’s global leadership in mining and steel decarbonisation, we are ensuring a solid sourcing
and go-to-market strategy to help accelerate the development of this project.”
Rio Tinto Head of Steel Decarbonisation Simon Farry said: “This collaboration is aligned with Rio Tinto’s
steel decarbonisation strategy to accelerate the development of low-carbon Electric Arc Furnace
steelmaking with high-grade iron as feedstock. This will allow us to both reduce our Scope 3 emissions
and create valuable decarbonised pathways for our high-grade iron ore. We are excited to support
GravitHy’s project and expand our understanding of the emerging green iron and steel market.”

Notice to ASX/LSE Rio Tinto takes up full entitlements in ERA rights issue, moving to over 98% ownership 19 November 2024 Rio Tinto notes the announcement today by Energy Resources of Australia Ltd (ERA) in relation to the conclusion of its entitlement offer and shortfall bookbuild, which raised A$766.5 million (before costs) to fund planned rehabilitation activities of the Ranger Project Area. As a result of Rio Tinto taking up its pro rata entitlements in the entitlement offer and the level of participation by other ERA shareholders, Rio Tinto will hold over 98% of ERA’s shares. In accordance with Rio Tinto’s previously stated intentions published in ERA’s entitlement offer information booklet, Rio Tinto intends to proceed under Part 6A.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) with the compulsory acquisition of all remaining ERA shares that it does not currently own. It is proposing to do so at A$0.002 per ERA share, being the same price as the entitlement offer. Rio Tinto Chief Executive, Australia, Kellie Parker said: “We remain committed to the successful rehabilitation of the Ranger Project Area to a standard that will establish an environment similar to the adjacent Kakadu National Park, a World Heritage site. Our utmost priority and commitment is to complete this important rehabilitation project in a way that is consistent with the wishes of the Mirarr People. “Proceeding with compulsory acquisition, after participating for our full entitlement in the ERA capital raising, underlines our commitment to Ranger’s rehabilitation.” If compulsory acquisition is completed, Rio Tinto has no intention to invest in mining or development of the Jabiluka deposit.

Panguna parties sign Memorandum of Understanding to address
mine impacts
19 November 2024
MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rio Tinto, Bougainville Copper Limited and the
Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to
form a Roundtable to address the findings of the Panguna Mine Legacy Impact Assessment (PMLIA).
The independent PMLIA is based on two years of data collection overseen by an Oversight Committee
that includes representatives from local communities and both Government of Papua New Guinea and
ABG officials. Engineering firm Tetra Tech Coffey, which conducted the study and reported to an
independent secretariat, presented the findings to Panguna communities in October 2024. The PMLIA
Report is expected to be published later this month.
Under the MoU, the Roundtable parties will work together, consult with impacted communities, and
establish a process to agree on how to remedy actual and potential impacts identified in the PMLIA.
It is intended this will include establishing an effective remedy mechanism that is aligned with the
United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
In parallel, the Roundtable parties will continue with work on ageing infrastructure and other priorities
already identified through the PMLIA process.
President of Bougainville Ishmael Toroama said: “The PMLIA has been an important initiative for the
ABG and for impacted communities. Rio Tinto and BCL should be commended for stepping up and
supporting the assessment, as well as the clan representatives on the Oversight Committee who have
been a vital bridge to their communities throughout the process.
“We are now looking beyond these results to working in concert with the MoU partners to address the
legacy environmental impacts.”
BCL Chairman Sir Mel Togolo said: “This is a positive step forward for the communities in the
assessment area. Building better understanding to help address the legacy issues is very important and
a key focus of the assessment.
“There is a lot to be done and cooperation between the parties is an essential element of success. We
look forward to coordinating with the MoU parties and impacted communities on priorities and next
steps.”
Rio Tinto Chief Executive, Australia, Kellie Parker said: “Our focus in Bougainville is on meaningful
engagement and long-term solutions. Since 2021, we've committed to the independent Legacy Impact
Assessment process with local stakeholders, which for the first time in decades will provide objective
data on environmental and associated human rights impacts from the Panguna mine since it ceased
operations due to civil war.
“We will work with the Roundtable parties and consult with local communities on a response plan to
address identified impacts. Rio Tinto’s support for this MoU reinforces our genuine commitment to
working respectfully and collaboratively on this important issue."
Further information
The independent assessment of the legacy impacts of the Panguna Mine on Bougainville commenced
in 2022.
The Legacy Impact Assessment’s objective is to identify and assess the actual and potential
environmental impacts caused by the Panguna mine since mining ceased in 1989. It will also identify
and assess the social and human rights impacts that are directly connected to these environmental
impacts and develop recommendations to address or mitigate these impacts.
The independent assessment was overseen by an Oversight Committee that included representatives
from local communities, the Government of Papua New Guinea, the Autonomous Bougainville
Government, Bougainville Copper Limited, Rio Tinto and the Human Rights Law Centre.
In August 2024, Rio Tinto, ABG and BCL signed a Memorandum of Understanding to address concerns
around future risks of ageing infrastructure as identified by Tetra Tech Coffey. The primary objectives
are to mitigate potential hazards and improve community safety. To achieve these goals, the parties
have scheduled work on these structures to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024.
In conjunction with the Legacy Impact Assessment and efforts to address ageing infrastructure, Rio
Tinto is supporting a water and sanitation project in Central Bougainville, in cooperation with the
Autonomous Bougainville Government.

Rio Tinto releases findings of external Progress Review on
workplace culture
20 November 2024
MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rio Tinto today published the findings of an
independent, external Progress Review on its work to deliver sustained workplace cultural change
across its global operations.
Two years into a long-term cultural change program, the review found that progress is being made with
promising signs of improved culture, innovation, and performance. However, it revealed mixed results,
with concerning behaviours persisting in some areas and requiring sustained attention to address
effectively.
Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said: “People are still experiencing behaviours and attitudes
in our company that are unacceptable and harmful. I am greatly troubled by this and sincerely apologise
on behalf of our leadership team to anyone affected. I want to thank everyone across our business who
has shown the courage to speak up, as your honesty will guide our ongoing efforts to become an
organisation where every day is safe, respectful, and productive for everyone.
“I am proud and greatly encouraged by the genuine effort across Rio Tinto to change and to make
Everyday Respect part of our daily conversations, and by the fact that this Progress Review shows the
majority of our people believe we are heading in the right direction. The review also shows that while
progress is being made, achieving the sustained change we want to see in our culture will require
ongoing focus and effort. My message today is that we will stay the course.”
The Progress Review was conducted by former Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth
Broderick, who undertook the Everyday Respect review of workplace culture that Rio Tinto publicly
released in 2022. It found that Rio Tinto's response to the Everyday Respect Report is gaining
momentum throughout the company and has established a solid foundation for building a more diverse
workforce and inclusive culture.
Elizabeth Broderick said: “I applaud Rio Tinto’s continued leadership and commitment to transparency
in driving cultural change. This is a significant undertaking in a global company with a growing and
dynamic workforce, diverse roles and complex working environments.
“Two years on, the progress is evident and there is an ongoing commitment to this work. I am not
surprised to see some areas where results haven’t improved, this is a normal part of the cultural change
process. With sustained focus from Rio Tinto, we should expect to see the positive change spread over
time.”
Findings of the Progress Review include:
The 26 recommendations outlined in the 2022 Everyday Respect Report have been largely
implemented, with longer-term actions, such as continued investment in facilities, ongoing.
People continue to experience harmful behaviours at Rio Tinto’s workplaces (see below for
more details)
Around half of survey respondents reported a perceived improvement in relation to bullying
(50%), sexual harassment (47%) and racism (46%), compared to 8% who thought bullying had
become worse, 2% who thought sexual harassment had become worse and 4% who thought
racism was worse. A majority of respondents expressed confidence the company will make a
meaningful difference in these areas in coming years.
People are more empowered to speak up and Everyday Respect is now widely considered a
normal conversation within the company, which is a critical step for culture change.
The survey data in this Progress Review is a lagging indicator, suggesting that the full benefit of
the changes made in this time are yet to be fully experienced by the Rio Tinto workforce.
While recognising this progress and the clear commitment of many of Rio Tinto’s people and leaders to
create a safer, more inclusive and respectful organisation, the study showed that people continued to
experience harmful behaviours in Rio Tinto’s workplaces over the past year, including:
Eight people reported experiencing actual or attempted sexual assault or rape, compared to five
people in 2021. Thirty-two people reported experiencing pressure or requests for sex or sexual
acts, compared to 37 people in 2021. The majority of people in both cases were women.
7% of respondents reported experiencing sexual harassment (the same as in 2021).
39% of respondents reported experiencing bullying (compared to 31% in 2021)
7% of respondents reported experiencing racism (the same number as in 2021, when
comparing racism behaviours to those included in the 2021 survey).
Building on the 26 Everyday Respect recommendations, and guided by the insight from the Progress
Review, Rio Tinto has shaped the next stage of its plan to further embed existing interventions and
accelerate change focused around three priority areas: equipping frontline leaders to drive change,
building buy-in for change across all areas of our workforce and securing and retaining diverse talent.
Key actions include:
Integrating ongoing listening to business processes through four Employee Resource
Groups (doubling to eight early in 2025) and more than 20 Village Councils; and through our
twice-yearly People Survey.
Further embedding our new performance management process by linking career
progression and remuneration to how people behave according to our “Values in Action”
framework, equally to what they have achieve.
Deepening people leadership capability, with all operational leaders and site leadership
teams to undertake Values, Mindsets and Behaviours training by the end of 2026.
Driving sustainable improvements in workforce diversity, with progress on gender balance
linked to end of year bonuses to drive sustainable year on year improvement.
Accelerating cultural inclusion activities, including extending our Cultural Connections
Program from Australia, where employees have already benefitted by deepening their
understanding of Indigenous history and culture, to Canada in 2025.
Further education about harmful behaviours including sexual harassment, bullying and
racism, with more than 90% of Rio Tinto employees and contractors to complete redesigned
mandatory Code of Conduct training, in line with Everyday Respect, by the end of 2025.
The communication of case studies of harmful behaviour to encourage discussion and
learning will be widened, through the roll out of ‘Purple Banners’ - a communications tool
developed in Iron Ore that is modelled on the sharing of safety incidents.
Further improvement to the reporting and resolution process for people experiencing
harmful behaviours, including reducing timeframes and increasing transparency.
Inclusion of all contractors for relevant Everyday Respect training and listening programs,
where practical.
Further facility upgrades through building on our investment to date to improve facilities at
sites, with further significant investment planned, alongside publishing clear principles in
facilities design and requirements in line with our Code of Conduct.
Over 11,600 individual contributions of experiences, views and insights were made to the Progress
Review process. This extensive feedback was gathered through multiple channels: a comprehensive
online survey reaching 10,000 participants, listening sessions - both virtual and in-person - involving
more than 1,300 people, and more than 340 detailed written submissions. To gain firsthand
perspectives and ensure a truly global assessment, researchers conducted on-site visits to Rio Tinto's
operations around the world, including diverse locations in Mongolia, Canada, USA, New Zealand and
Australia.
