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.

This Changes Everything: One Of The Most Important Shifts For Dividend Investors
Inflation isn't just back, it's becoming policy. From skewed CPI data to deficit-driven dollar moves, we're entering a new and lasting macro era. The U.S. may now prefer higher inflation to fix its balance sheet and boost growth. That changes everything, including how we invest, where we invest, and why. I'm not overhauling my strategy. But I'm sharpening my focus on pricing power, hard assets, and income that's built for this new reality.

Glencore: The Congo, Rio Tinto And Other Factors Impacting The Stock
Glencore's long-term strategy of owning commodity assets and trading expertise makes it a unique and undervalued player in the mining sector. Despite recent volatility and bearish trends, scale-down buying of GLNCY shares could be optimal, especially with the potential for higher commodity prices ahead. Restructuring and asset shifts suggest Glencore is positioning itself for a mega-merger, which could unlock significant shareholder value.
