Rio Tinto has approved an investment of US$180 million and commenced work on the Norman Creek access project at its world-class Amrun bauxite mine on Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula. This project is crucial for securing the long-term future of the Amrun bauxite operations. The investment underscores Rio Tinto's commitment to its bauxite business.
The Norman Creek project is estimated to hold approximately 978 million tonnes, representing half of the declared Amrun ore reserves. This significant reserve base ensures a sustained supply of high-quality bauxite for decades. The investment supports the operational continuity and expansion plans for the Amrun mine.
This major investment is an operational milestone that reinforces Rio Tinto's position as a leading global bauxite producer. It provides long-term certainty for its integrated aluminum value chain. The project is expected to contribute significantly to future production volumes and revenue streams from the bauxite segment.
