This investment aligns with Rio Tinto's commitment to technological differentiation and innovation across its operations. It represents a tangible step towards smarter mining practices.
The demonstration project is a strategic move to test and validate advanced technologies that could be deployed more broadly across Rio Tinto's global assets. Successful implementation could unlock significant value by optimizing resource utilization. This collaboration with the Quebec government underscores the importance of innovation in the mining sector.
