We are partnering with Aldebaran Resources Inc. (TSX V.ALDE) to evaluate our Nuton technologies at the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan, Argentina. Our journey to find innovative and better ways to deliver copper continues, and this exclusive collaboration with Altar furthers this important work. Infinitely recyclable, copper not only powers our everyday lives but is critical to the clean energy transition. ♻️🔋 “We are pleased to announce this collaboration agreement with Aldebaran. Nuton has a wide range of potential use cases. At Altar we are encouraged by the potential of Nuton to unlock copper resources in a project with substantial scale potential and in a way that is more environmentally efficient than conventional processes," Adam Burley, CEO of Nuton, said.

Mongolia is high, cold and dry – so packing to be safe and comfortable takes a special skill. Khulan flies from the capital Ulaanbaatar to our Oyu Tolgoi site every 14 days, and knows how to prioritise her wellbeing. See what’s in her bag 👇

We operate in 35 countries around the world. Some are hot, others are cold, and some like our Rincon Lithium project in Argentina are very high above sea level. Rincon operates on the Puna de Atacama, a high altitude plateau located 3800m above sea level. At that altitude the atmosphere is so thin it contains 35% less oxygen, and 40% stronger UV exposure. In these extreme conditions, nothing matters more than keeping yourself safe. “Adaptation is very hard and even after so many years coming here. The first days at altitude are difficult. I always get headaches and nausea.” Enzo, a Geologist who works at Rincon, says. We know hazards exist in our working environments which is why we're focused on identifying, managing and where possible, eliminating safety risks. "Safe work is at the heart of everything we do. With the wide range of temperatures and harsh weather, we have to be on constant alert. [Rincon] is a very changeable climate with gusts of wind and thunderstorms that force us to stop all tasks immediately. Working in geology requires us to spend a lot of time outdoors, in the salt flats, so we have to always be prepared," he says. "With the thermal amplitude and harshness of the climate, we must always be attentive to how our body responds. Here people can suffer from "apunamiento" (or altitude sickness). We must remain calm, be moderate in our meals and above all patient; the body adapts little by little, and that's why I always feel headaches when I arrive. It is important to get checked at the medical service to ensure we are fit to start each day of work. "The personal protection elements are a very important tool for our work. If we are traveling through the salt flat, we have to be well protected, with proper footwear, hydrate constantly; and always wear warm clothes. The weather changes very fast and we must always be prepared. "Safety training is always present. And beyond all that has to do with HSE (Health Safety Environment) training, Rio Tinto's values are always present to guide us. When we talk about care, we are also talking about safety".

This World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2024, we're focusing on how climate change impacts our people, sites, host communities, the environments we work in and supply chains. From tropical cyclones 🌀 to extreme heat ☀️ and wildfires 🔥 — the impacts of extreme weather on our operations are real. And as our climate continues to change, extreme weather events like these will happen more often and more intensely. We know we need to plan for and manage climate risks accordingly, so we can continue to operate safely, productively and profitably, now and in the future. #ClimateRisk #ExtremeWeather

Packing your bag for extreme conditions requires planning. Our Gove site, located at the top of Australia's Northern Territory, can be extremely hot and humid.
