Exploration
Rio Tinto Exploration is a global operation dedicated to discovering new mineral resources to replace and/or supplement those already mined by the Rio Tinto Group. The exploration process can be long and complex, involving the use of highly sophisticated technology and equipment often in remote locations and under challenging conditions.
Divided into five geographic regions covering Australasia, Asia, Africa/Europe, North America and South America, Rio Tinto Exploration is a cutting-edge business unit. Since 1994 exploration has resulted in new finds of nickel, diamonds, potash, copper and gold. Exploration teams - along with a small Project Generation team - are constantly seeking new finds of these important products plus deposits of bauxite, iron ore, coal, uranium, borate and other industrially viable minerals.
