Rio Tinto: Winu copper and gold mine project will become a template for future project development

SMM3, April 4: Rio Tinto global exploration director Stephen McIntosh said recently that the Australian Winu copper mine from discovery to industrial production time is very short, so Winu copper mine will become a template for future project development.

It is reported that Rio Tinto plans to achieve the first batch of production of Winu copper and gold mine in 2023.

Over the past two years, Rio has made a big investment in the copper business, believing that copper is on the verge of falling short of demand, mainly because it believes the charging pile and electric car market will further boost copper demand, while copper supply remains limited.

Rio Tinto produced about 1.37 million tons of copper in 2019, with copper assets mainly in Chile, Peru, Australia and Africa.
