Rio Tinto has announced operational review for year ended 31 December 2021. Rio Tinto Chief Executive Mr Jakob Stausholm said “In 2021 we continued to experience strong demand for our products while operating conditions remained challenging, including due to prolonged COVID-19 disruptions. Despite this, we progressed a number of our projects, including the Pilbara replacement mines, underlining the resilience of the business and the commitment and flexibility of our people, communities and host governments. We are seeing some initial positive results from the implementation of the Rio Tinto Safe Production System, which we will significantly ramp up in 2022, as we continue to work hard to improve our operational performance to become the best operator.”2021 ProductionPilbara iron ore shipments (100% basis) - 321.6 million tonnes, down 3% YoYPilbara iron ore production (100% basis) - 319.7 million tonnes, down 4% YoYBauxite - 54.3 million tonnes, down 3% YoYAluminium - 3.2 million tonnes, down 1% YoYMined Copper - 0.5 million tonnes, down 7% YoYTitanium dioxide slag -1.0 million tonnes, down 9% YoYIOC iron ore pellets & concentrate- 9.7 million tonnes, down 6% YoY
