We aim to have the best mining and processing technology available, and to innovate new ways of operating that will benefit our business, employees, customers and shareholders. We are devising new technologies that minimize our impact on the environment, and improve the health, safety, and working conditions of our people.
The Technology & Innovation (T&I) group provides world class technology services to Rio Tinto’s product groups and businesses. It also advises Rio Tinto’s executive
Management. T&I is made up of technology centres that identify, share and implement leading practice across Rio Tinto. The centres each have responsibility for different areas of mine technology, which include mining, asset management, strategic production planning, processing, project development and technical risk evaluation of investment opportunities.
The various elements of T&I collaborate in capturing knowledge and spreading it through Rio Tinto. T&I identifies and promotes leading practice in operational technology. It also pursues step change innovations that will provide Rio Tinto with further competitive advantages as it develops the orebodies of the future.
We have the experience, know how and capability to be a key innovator in the mining industry, and the vision to be a world leader in technological development. We work to develop and implement new processes, technologies and tools that will bring the mine of the future into the present.
Technology is an increasingly important success factor in the metal and mineral industry. Improvements in technology can change the way that we look at mineral deposits. Orebodies that at one time would have been uneconomic to exploit – due to their grade or their location – may become economic prospects with the help of new technologies.
Technical challenges for the mining industry are likely to become more complex, as companies pursue opportunities in new mining territories, while managing costs and responding to
