Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited operate as a single business entity with the same board of directors, a unified management, and a combined portfolio of mineral resources which is well balanced by both geography and commodity.
This results from the December 1995 unification of The RTZ Corporation PLC and CRA Limited through a dual listed companies (DLC) structure. In June 1997, The RTZ Corporation PLC became Rio Tinto plc and CRA Limited became Rio Tinto Limited.
Rio Tinto plc (then The Rio Tinto-Zinc Corporation) was formed in 1962 by the merger of two British companies, The Rio Tinto Company and The Consolidated Zinc Corporation.
Rio Tinto Limited (then Conzinc Riotinto of Australia) was formed at the same time by the merger of the Australian interests of The Consolidated Zinc Corporation and The Rio Tinto Company.
The Rio Tinto Company was formed in 1873 to mine the ancient copper workings at Rio Tinto in Spain. Two thirds of The Rio Tinto Company's Spanish business were sold in 1954 and the remaining interest was also subsequently divested. The Consolidated Zinc Corporation was incorporated in 1905, initially to treat zinc bearing tailings at Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia which soon expanded into mining.
Following the 1962 merger, RTZ developed a number of major projects including Palabora (copper) in South Africa and Rössing (uranium) in Namibia. It also grew through acquisitions, including the Borax group in 1968.
Between 1968 and 1985 significant interests in cement, chemicals, oil and gas and manufactured products for the construction and automotive industries were also developed. However, a major review of corporate strategy between 1987 and 1988 led to a series of disposals and acquisitions which refocused the company on mining and related activities.
As a result, between 1988 and 1994 non mining businesses were sold as going concerns, and interests in mining acquired. These included the 1989 acquisition of the major part of British Petroleum's international minerals businesses, and the 1993 acquisition of the Nerco and Cordero coal mining businesses in the US.
In mid 1995 a 40 per cent direct interest in the expansion potential of the Grasberg copper gold mine in Indonesia was acquired through formation of a joint venture with Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold.
After 1962, CRA also grew through the development of several important mineral discoveries, including Hamersley (iron ore) in Australia, Bougainville (copper) in Papua New Guinea, Comalco (bauxite, alumina refining and aluminium smelting) in Australia and New Zealand, Argyle (diamonds) and Blair Athol and Tarong (coal) in Australia, and Kelian (gold) and Kaltim Prima (coal) in Indonesia.
Growth also came from acquisitions, including the Australian coal assets of BP in 1989 and a 70.7 per cent interest in Coal & Allied Industries' New South Wales operations.
Following the DLC merger in 1995, exploration, research and technology have been refocused on a global basis and the management structure reorganised to capture the potential of the merger for the future.
Additional coal interests were acquired in the United States in 1997.
In 2000, Rio Tinto set in motion $4 billion of acquisitions of major aluminium, iron ore, diamonds and coal assets, adding further strength to an already exceptional base of resources. The acquisition of North Ltd of Australia, with its iron ore and other mines complementing those of Rio Tinto, provided important rationalisation opportunities with existing, adjacent operations. In 2001, Coal & Allied acquired the Peabody Group's Australian coal businesses for US$455 million.
The Group's diamond business was expanded with the opening of the Diavik diamond mine in Canada in 2003 and the Murowa diamond project in Zimbabwe in 2004. Capital expenditure has been at record levels on a wide range of projects in Australia, including a new greenfields alumina refinery, construction of the Hail Creek coking coal mine, and major expansions of iron ore production and transport infrastructure, as well as investments in copper mines in South Africa and South America. In 2003 and 2004 Rio Tinto completed the sale of a number of non-core assets for net proceeds of about US$1.7 billion.
La Rio Tinto e Rio Tinto Limited operano come una singola unità commerciale con lo stesso consiglio di amministrazione, direzioni unificate, un patrimonio associato delle risorse minerarie che è pienamente bilanciato sia dalla geografia che dalla merce.
Questo risulta dalla fusione tra la RTZ Corporation PLC e CRA Limited del dicembre 1996 attraverso una duplice struttura della compagnia (DLC).
Nel giugno ’99 la RTZ Corporation divenne Rio Tinto PLC e la CRA Limited divenne Rio Tinto Limited.
La Rio Tinto PLC (dopo Rio Tinto Zinc Corporation) fu istituita nel 1962 grazie alla fusione delle due compagnie inglesi, la Rio Tinto Company e la Consolidated Zinc Corporation).
La Rio Tinto Limited (dopo con Zinc Rio Tinto of Australia) fu istituita nello stesso periodo grazie all’unione degli interessi degli australiani della Consolidated Zinc Corporation e Rio Tinto Company.
La Rio Tinto Company fu formata nel 1873 per attuare i vecchi scavi delle miniere di rame di Rio Tino in Spagna.
Due terzi del commercio della Rio Tinto Company spagnola furono venduti nel 1954 ed in seguito accadde la stessa cosa all’interesse rimanente.
La Rio Tinto Zinc Corporation venne incorporata nel 1905 inizialmente per occuparsi di dove portare i rifiuti delle miniere di zinco di Broken Hill, nel sud del Galles, l’ Australia si sarebbe presto allargata verso l’attività mineraria.
In seguito all’unione del 1962 la RTZ sviluppò un numero maggiore di progetti inclusi Palabora (rame) in Sud Africa e Rossing (uranio) in Namibia.
Si è esposta anche attraverso acquisizioni, come quella del gruppo Borax nel 1968.
Tra il 1968 e il 1985 si ampliarono gli interessi nel cemento, prodotti chimici, petrolio e gas, prodotti industriali per la costruzione ed industrie autonome.
Tuttavia una più attenta revisione della strategia della corporation tra il 198 e l’88 portò ad una serie di disposizioni ed acquisizioni che concentrarono nuovamente l’attenzione della compagnia in ambito minerario e nelle attività ad esso connesse.
Come conseguenza, tra il 1988 e il 1994 nessun affare in ambito minerario venne venduto/ ceduto alle imprese e gli interessi per le operazioni minerarie ne trassero vantaggio.
Questo include, nel 1989, l’acquisizione della maggior parte di British Petroleum’s International mineral business, e nel 1993 l’acquisizione delle attività delle miniere di carbone di Nerco e Cordero negli USA.
A metà del 1995 il 40% degli interessi diretti per la potenziale espansione delle minere di rame ed oro di Grasberg in Indonesia furono acquisite attraverso un’ unione con Freeport-Mc Mran Copper&Gold.
Dopo il 1962 anche a CRA crebbe attraverso lo sviluppo di alcune importanti scoperte minerarie
, ta le quali Hamersley (minerale di ferro) in Australia, Bouganvlle (rame) in Papua-Nuova Guinea, Comalco (bauxite, raffinerie di alluminio e fusione di alluminio) in Australia e Nuova Zelanda, Argyle (diamanti) e Blair Athol e Tarong (cabone) in Australia, e Kelian (oro) e Kaltim Prima (carbone) in Indonesia.
La crescita si verificò anche attraverso le acquisizioni che includevano l’attività australiana, legata al carbone, della BP nel 1989 ed il 70% dell’interesse delle reazioni della Coal&Allied Industries nel sud del Galles.
In seguito alla fusione con la DLC nel 1995, l’esplorazione, la ricerca e la tecnologia sono state concentrate su una base globale e la struttura amministrativa fu riorganizzata per catturare la potenzialità della fusione per il futuro.
Gli interessi supplementari per ciò che riguarda il carbone furono acquisiti negli Stati Unti nel 1997.
Nel 2000 la Rio Tinto mise in movimento 4 miliardi per l’acquisizione per la maggior parte di alluminio, ferro, diamanti e carbone, che vanno a congiungesi alla base eccezionale di risorse che già possedeva.
L’acquisizione della North Ltd of Austalia, con le sue miniere di ferro ed alcune miniere complementi rispetto a quelle della Rio Tinto, fornì un’importante opportunità di razionalizzazione con le esistenti adiacenti operazioni.
Nel 2001, la Coal&Al lied acquisì la Peabody Group’s Australian Coal business per 445 milioni di dollari.
Il gruppo per il commercio di diamanti si espanse con l’apertura della miniera di diamanti Diavik in Canada nel 2003 e con il progetto della Murowa diamanti nello Zimbabwe nel 2004.
L’impiego di capitale è giunto a livelli di record in n vasto territorio per i progetti in Australia, che include una nuova raffineria di alluminio, la costruzione della cokeria della miniera di Hail Creek, maggiori espansioni della produzione del ferro, del trasporto e delle infrastrutture come degli investimenti nelle miniere di rame in Sud Africa e Sud America.
Nel 2003 e 2004 la Rio Tinto completò la vendita di un numero di impianti di minore importanza per circa 1,7 miliardi di dollari.
