About: Rio Tinto is a global diversified miner. Iron ore is the dominant commodity, with significantly lesser contributions from copper, aluminum, diamonds, gold, and industrial minerals. The 1995 merger of RTZ and CRA, via a dual-listed structure, created the present-day company. The two operate as a single business entity, with shareholders in each company having equivalent economic and voting rights. Major assets included the Pilbara iron ore operations, a 30% stake in the Escondida copper mine, 66%-ownership of the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia, the Weipa and Gove bauxite mines in Australia, and six hydro-powered aluminum smelters in Canada.

Rio Tinto Will Benefit From New Battery Technology
RIO is uniquely positioned to benefit from surging demand for copper and bauxite if aluminum-ion battery technology is commercialized, especially by Tesla. The stock is undervalued, offers a 6.7% dividend yield, and management is committed to a 60% payout ratio, supporting strong total returns. Even if the new battery technology fails, RIO's diversified mining operations and exposure to copper and lithium ensure continued profitability and dividend stability.
