Rio Tinto Plc

(RTTNews) - Rio Tinto, in collaboration with China's State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) Qiyuan, has launched a pioneering trial of battery swap electric haul truck technology at the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia. This marks Rio Tinto's first deployment of battery swap electric trucks in surface mining, representing a significant step toward reducing emissions from its haulage fleet—one of the largest contributors to its Scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint, the company said in a statement.
Over the past year, the companies have delivered and installed a fleet of eight 91-tonne Tonly electric trucks, supported by 13 high-capacity batteries (each 800 kWh), a battery swapping station, a static charger, and the necessary infrastructure. These trucks will be used for tailings dam construction and topsoil transportation, giving Rio Tinto direct operational experience with battery electric vehicles and swap charging systems.
The battery swapping technology enables a depleted battery to be replaced in under seven minutes, eliminating the need for lengthy charging at fixed stations. This approach significantly reduces downtime and enhances fleet efficiency.
The trial will continue through the end of 2026, allowing Rio Tinto to evaluate the feasibility of broader adoption across its global fleet of 700 haul trucks. Notably, around 100 of these are small to medium class vehicles (100-200 tonne payload), which are well-suited for current-generation battery swap systems.

Company snapshot
Occidental Petroleum Corporation is a leading energy company with a diversified portfolio spanning oil and gas exploration, chemical manufacturing, and midstream operations. Its scale and balanced business mix position it to serve a wide range of industrial and energy customers worldwide.
The company produces and markets crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and basic chemicals through its Oil & Gas, Chemical, and Midstream & Marketing segments.
It generates revenue primarily from the extraction and sale of hydrocarbons, as well as the manufacturing and distribution of chemicals and related products.
Occidental Petroleum Corporation operates across the United States, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
Foolish take
Every oil cycle slows down eventually. Prices level off and the market's attention drifts elsewhere. Yet these quieter stretches often reveal what really lasts, and Occidental Petroleum Corporation has spent decades proving that it can outlast the cycle.
QSM Asset Management added a new $10.3 million position in Occidental Petroleum in the third quarter, buying roughly 221,760 shares that now make up roughly 7 percent of its portfolio.
The timing is interesting. Occidental's stock has fallen close to 19 percent over the past year, yet its balance sheet is stronger than it has been in a decade. The company is consistently producing solid cash flow from its oil, chemical and midstream units. Debt has also dropped sharply since its Anadarko acquisition in 2019. Its integrated model gives Occidental room to stay profitable when crude prices slip and to compound gains when they rise.
For investors, Occidental Petroleum shows how a mature operator can still grow in a measured way and is also well positioned to turn the rough edges of the energy cycle into lasting value. The company isn’t just surviving the market cycle — it’s reshaping itself for the next one.

What Occidental Petroleum’s Latest Backer Sees in Oil’s Next Chapter

(RTTNews) - Rio Tinto announced a series of changes to the composition of its Board of Directors. During a recent transitional period, the Board expanded to 14 members to retain the deep expertise of long-serving Directors while providing newly appointed members the opportunity to gain familiarity with the Group. This structure supported continuity and effective onboarding during a time of strategic evolution.
The company noted that Simon Henry has stepped down as a Director, having served on the Board since April 2017 and having now completed the handover to Sharon Thorne, who has succeeded him as Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee.
As part of the Board restructuring process, Martina Merz has decided to step down as a Director as she wishes to dedicate more of her time to building innovation ecosystems, alongside her other supervisory and advisory board positions.
Ben Wyatt is appointed Senior Independent Director, Rio Tinto Limited. This role complements the UK-based SID, Rio Tinto plc, performed by Sharon Thorne, but with a particular focus on Board engagement in Australia.
Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz joins the Sustainability Committee of the Board, to replace Martina Merz.

Company Snapshot
Rio Tinto produces and sells iron ore, aluminum, copper, minerals, and related products.
The company operates a vertically integrated mining and processing model, generating revenue from commodity extraction, processing, and global distribution.
It serves industrial manufacturers, construction firms, technology companies, and energy producers worldwide.
Rio Tinto Group is a leading global mining company with a diversified portfolio across iron ore, aluminum, copper, and minerals.
Foolish Take
QSM Asset Management’s new $11.5 million stake in Rio Tinto Group is part of the fund's growing exposure to commodity-linked value plays. The position—representing 8.2% of the firm’s portfolio—adds to a broader bet on natural resources this past quarter, alongside bolstered holdings in Diamondback Energy (FANG) and Occidental Petroleum (OXY). Together, these moves suggest that QSM believes energy and materials producers remain undervalued relative to fundamentals.
Meanwhile, Rio's stock has surged more than 30% since late June. The firm's Pilbara operations posted their second-highest third-quarter shipments since 2019, climbing 6% from the second quarter. The company also reaffirmed full-year production guidance, and in a statement, CEO Simon Trott touted back-to-back quarterly production records in Rio's bauxite business and at the Oyu Tolgoi mining site in Mongolia.
For long-term investors, Rio’s combination of strong free cash flow, modest valuation, and a dividend yield of about 5.5% offers both income and inflation protection. QSM’s inclusion of Rio Tinto within a portfolio of high-quality cyclicals seemingly underscores its conviction in commodity producers amid broader economic uncertainty.

QSM Asset Management Takes $11.5 Million Stake in Rio Tinto, Expands Energy Exposure

Rio Tinto Group RIO reported iron ore shipments (on a 100% basis) of 84.3 million tons (Mt) for the third quarter of 2025, which was flat year over year. On a sequential basis, shipments rose 6%. This marked the second-highest third-quarter shipment since 2019. Total ron ore production for the quarter was 84.1 Mt, in line with the year-ago quarter. RIO’s share of shipments was at 71.4 Mt (down 1%) and its share in total production was 71.8 Mt (up 1%).
Bauxite production rose 8.5% to 16.4 Mt in the third quarter. Bauxite achieved its second consecutive record quarterly production, driven by Amrun operating above nameplate capacity.
Rio Tinto’s aluminum output was up 6% year over year to 857 thousand tons. Alumina production increased 7% to 1.9 Mt, reflecting improved performance at Yarwun and Alumar. This was somewhat negated by the planned shutdown at Vaudreuil.
In the third quarter, mined copper production was 204 thousand tons, 10% higher than the year-ago quarter. Production at Kennecott was 69% lower year over year due to planned annual maintenance shutdown through September. Copper production at Escondida increased 9% year over year, aided by a 13% improvement in concentrator performance.
This was negated by a 6% decline in head grade. Oyu Tolgoi’s production was 78% higher year over year to a record 89 thousand tons, driven by continued underground ramp-up.
Titanium dioxide slag production declined 1% from the year-ago quarter, led by weak market conditions. Production at Iron Ore Company of Canada was 11% higher on a year-over-year basis.
Rio Tinto’s Production Guidance for 2025
RIO expects Pilbara iron ore shipments (100% basis) at the lower end of 323-338 Mt. This is due to cyclone impacts in the first quarter of 2025.
Backed by the better-than-expected performance, the company has increased Bauxite’s guidance to 59-61 Mt from the prior stated 57-59 Mt. This indicates higher utilization rates, particularly at Weipa.
Alumina production is anticipated between 7.4 Mt and 7.8 Mt, while aluminum production is expected to be 3.25-3.45 Mt for 2025. Copper output is predicted to be at the higher end of the earlier stated 780-850 kt. Titanium dioxide slag production is expected to be near the lower end of 1-1.2 Mt.
RIO’s Cost Guidance for 2025
Rio Tinto expects Pilbara iron ore unit cash costs between $23.00 and $24.50 per ton. Copper C1 unit costs are forecast between $110 and $130 per pound.
Rio Tinto Share Price Performance
In a year, shares of the company have gained 7.2% compared with the industry’s 21.7% growth.

These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Fidelity Enhanced International ETF Experiences Big Inflow

(RTTNews) - Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto Plc (RTNTF, RIO, RIO.L, RTPPF) reported that its Pilbara iron ore shipments (100% basis) for the third quarter of 2025 was 84.35 million tons, down from 84.55 million tons in the prior year. But, quarterly Pilbara iron ore production (100% basis) was 84.10 million tons, up from 84.07 million tons in the previous year.
Rio Tinto Chief Executive Simon Trott said, "We are on track to meet production guidance for 2025, with an upwards revision to bauxite this quarter, and are well positioned to deliver compelling mid-term production growth."
The company continues to expect Pilbara iron ore shipments in 2025 to be at the lower end of the guidance range of 323 million tonnes -338 million tonnes, following a 13 Mt impact from cyclones in the first quarter.
Full-year bauxite production guidance has been upgraded, driven by operational excellence across the bauxite business—particularly at Amrun. The guidance range for bauxite production has increased from 57 million tonnes -59 million tonnes to 59 million tonnes -61 million tonnes, reflecting consistently higher utilisation rates, especially at Weipa, where Amrun continues to exceed nameplate capacity.
Copper production remains on track to reach the higher end of full-year guidance, supported by a strong ramp-up at Oyu Tolgoi.

Rio Tinto Q3 Pilbara Iron Ore Shipments Down; Upgrades FY Bauxite Production Guidance

Rio Tinto Group RIO announced that it will jointly invest to develop the West Angelas Sustaining Project as part of its Robe River Joint Venture with Mitsui & Co. MITSY and Nippon Steel. This move showcases solid partnerships within the joint venture and the Yinhawangka and Ngarlawangga Peoples.
Details of Rio Tinto’s West Angelas Sustaining Project
RIO will invest $733 million with Mitsui and Nippon Steel, wherein Rio Tinto's share will be $389 million. The West Angelas Sustaining Project aims to develop iron ore deposits in the West Angelas hub, which has been a key part of Rio Tinto Iron Ore since 2002.
RIO, Mitsui and Nippon Steel have received all the required approvals from the State and Federal Government to develop the project. The project will keep maintaining the West Angelas hub's 35 million tons of annual production capacity, extending mining life. The project will utilize the existing West Angelas processing infrastructure, and construct a new infrastructure and 22 km of haul roads.
Rio Tinto, along with the Yinhawangka and Ngarlawangga Peoples , has curated Social Cultural Heritage Management Plans for the West Angelas Sustaining Project, ensuring the protection of cultural heritage and the environment. The project will create 600 jobs and employ 950 people for equivalent roles at the West Angelas hub.

In May 2025, the company announced that it would invest $1.2 billion (CAD $1.7 billion) to modernize its 100-year-old Isle-Maligne hydroelectric power plant in Quebec, Canada. This is RIO’s most significant investment in its hydroelectric assets in more than seven decades.
In June 2025, it announced plans to invest $1.6 billion with Hancock Prospecting to develop the Hope Downs 2 iron ore project in Western Australia's Pilbara region, where Rio Tinto's share will be $800 million. RIO's investment in these projects underscores its commitment to Australian iron ore and the long-term sustainability of Pilbara's production.
In August 2025, the company approved an investment of $180 million for the Norman Creek access project, which will enable mining of the Norman Creek region of Amrun. Norman Creek is an integral development for the long-term sustainability of the company’s Weipa operations.

Rio Tinto to Jointly Invest $733M in West Angelas Sustaining Project

(RTTNews) - Rio Tinto, Mitsui, and Nippon Steel have committed a combined investment of US$733 million, with Rio Tinto contributing US389 million, to develop the West Angelas Sustaining Project, part of the Robe River Joint Venture in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The project has received all required approvals from State and Federal Government authorities.
Rio Tinto said that the initiative will unlock new iron ore deposits within the West Angelas hub, preserving its annual production capacity of 35 million tonnes and extending mining operations well into the future. It will utilize existing processing infrastructure and involve the construction of new non-process infrastructure precincts and 22 kilometres of haul roads.
Ore from the new deposits will be transported autonomously to the hub, with first production expected in 2027. Approximately 600 jobs will be created during the construction phase, and the project will support around 950 full-time equivalent roles once operational.
This development is part of Rio Tinto's broader tranche of replacement projects in the Pilbara, which collectively aim to maintain a total production capacity of approximately 130 million tonnes per annum.
In addition, progress continues on the pre-feasibility study for Rhodes Ridge, an undeveloped iron ore deposit targeting up to 40Mtpa in initial capacity, with first ore anticipated by 2030.
The Robe River Joint Venture is owned by Rio Tinto (53%), Mitsui Iron Ore (33%), and Nippon Steel (14%).
