Australia-based miner Rio Tinto has announced a production forecast of 323-338 million mt for its Pilbara operations in Western Australia for the current year and 2025.

In the meantime, the company expects that, with the help of its save production system, its iron ore production will further rise by 5 million mt per year both in 2024 and 2025, resulting in a cumulative increase of 15 million mt over the next three years.

Also, Rio Tinto has invested in decarbonization projects this year, which will allow it to reduce its emissions by over 3 million mt per year.
