Administrative / Biographical History

Rio Tinto is an Anglo-Australian multinational and one of the world's largest metals and mining corporations. The company was founded in 1873, when a multinational consortium of investors purchased a mine complex on the Rio Tinto, in Huelva, Spain, from the Spanish government. Since then, the company has grown through a long series of mergers and acquisitions to place itself among the world leaders in the production of many commodities, including aluminium, iron ore, copper, uranium, and diamonds. Anglesey Aluminium Metal Ltd., which shut down on 30 September 2009, was a joint venture between the Rio Tinto Group and Kaiser Aluminum.
