Closing out Q3 — we continued to strengthen our operations, delivering consistent production at our Pilbara iron ore business and a step change from our Australian bauxite mines.   "We are on track for first production from our Simandou high-grade iron ore project next year and first lithium from the Rincon starter plant by the end of this year. Meanwhile the ramp-up of copper production continues at the Oyu Tolgoi underground mine," Rio Tinto Chief Executive, Jakob Stausholm, said.   "We announced the acquisition of Arcadium Lithium, bringing a world-class lithium business alongside our leading aluminium and copper operations to supply materials needed for the energy transition."   #FindingBetterWays #results

Our aluminium operations produce some of the highest quality, lowest carbon aluminium in the world. Yet they account for almost two-thirds of our scope 1 and 2 emissions.

Copper is essential to creating a sustainable, low-carbon world. We're finding better ways to enable low-carbon production of copper by investing in new technologies and making changes to how we operate.
