flag Rio Tinto and BHP plan to jointly extract 200 million tons of iron ore from Western Australia mines, aiming for early 2030s production.

flag Rio Tinto and BHP have agreed to explore a collaboration to extract up to 200 million metric tons of iron ore from their neighboring Pilbara mines in Western Australia, focusing on Rio’s Wunbye deposit and BHP’s Yandi Lower Channel deposit. flag The nonbinding agreements aim to leverage shared infrastructure to boost production with minimal new investment, potentially enabling first output in the early 2030s. flag The move follows a 2023 joint mining agreement and comes amid pressure from China, which dominates global iron-ore demand. flag Both companies, reliant on iron ore for over half their earnings, are also diversifying into copper. flag The partnership is expected to enhance efficiency and competitiveness in a shifting market.
