Rio Tinto’s new bauxite mine completed early, under budget

Diversified major Rio Tinto has completed the commissioning of its A$2.6-billion Amrun bauxite mine, in the Cape York Peninsula.

“Amrun was completed early and under budget, demonstrating Rio Tinto’s productivity and innovation capabilities. By applying fresh thinking we also delivered safety, environmental, cost and timing benefits,” said Rio CEO Jean-Sebastian Jacques.
