Notes to Editors



Rio Tinto is a world leader in finding, mining and processing the earth's
mineral resources. The Group's worldwide operations supply essential minerals
and metals that help to meet global needs and contribute to improvements in
living standards. Rio Tinto encourages strong local identities and has a
devolved management philosophy, entrusting responsibility with accountability to
the workplace.

In order to deliver superior returns to shareholders over time, Rio Tinto takes
a long term and responsible approach to the Group's business.  We concentrate on
the development of first class orebodies into large, long life and efficient
operations, capable of sustaining competitive advantage through business cycles.

Major products include aluminium, copper, diamonds, energy products (coal and
uranium), gold, industrial minerals (borax, titanium dioxide, salt, talc and
zircon), and iron ore. The Group's activities span the world but are strongly
represented in Australia and North America with significant businesses in South
America, Asia, Europe and southern Africa.

Rio Tinto comprises wholly owned subsidiaries (such as Borax, Rio Tinto
Aluminium, Hamersley, Rio Tinto Coal Australia, Kennecott and Rio Tinto Iron &
Titanium), partly owned subsidiaries (Coal & Allied and Palabora) and
non-managed, (Escondida) and joint ventures (Grasberg) in which public
shareholders, other companies or governments are partners.

Wherever Rio Tinto operates, health and safety is our first priority. We seek to
contribute to sustainable development. We work as closely as possible with our
host countries and communities, respecting laws and customs. We minimise adverse
effects and strive to improve every aspect of our performance. We employ local
people at all levels and ensure fair and equitable transfer of benefits and
enhancement of opportunities.

Our success as a business depends not only on our skills and the quality and
diversity of the Group's assets, but also on our shared commitment to be a
dependable global partner and good local neighbour.
