Notas do Editor

  1. Our corporate aim has been to always remain investment grade and despite recent downgrades our aim is to improve to an A rating in the near future We are always speaking to ratings agencies to ensure they are aware of our ability to generate cash via our quality operations
  2. The current global downturn is the most severe since the Second World War. Yet the longer term drivers of industrialisation, urbanisation and productivity remain intact. Over the next fifteen years, consumption trends will lead to a doubling in iron ore, aluminium, and copper demand and will require a significant supply response. To put this in perspective by 2030 this will be equivalent to adding one Pilbara system every 5 years, one Saguenay system every nine months, and one Escondida every year. With Rio Tinto’s large suite of low cost, large scale, long life assets and expansion options along with core skills in operating excellence, exploration, technology and innovation, we are very well positioned to meet these challenges
  3. Rio Tinto’s core strategy remains to invest in and operating large, long life, low cost mines and assets Quality of asset not choice of commodity Superior profits delivered by high quality assets Strong performance sustainable over long term To deliver Group will continue to concentrate on Tier 1 assets that will operate profitably at every stage of the commodity cycle. Strengthening our balance sheet and striving toward a single ‘A’ credit rating is key, tempered by our need to grow to meet future demand Operate in an ethical and socially responsible matter putting sustainable development at the heart of everything we do
