Rio Tinto plc Research Report
On November 29, 2013, Rio Tinto plc (Rio Tinto) announced that the Company will move to suspend alumina production at Gove refinery and will focus on its bauxite operations after determining the refinery is no longer a viable business in the current market environment. Further, the Company informed that it will now work on the scope and phased timing of suspension and prepare for all potential outcomes over coming months. "There is no doubt it is a challenging path ahead. We are working in partnership with the Northern Territory and Australian Governments, the broader community and Traditional Owners to identify initiatives to create new opportunities for the people of Nhulunbuy. We have a firm belief in the potential of the bauxite operation, a quality asset with a long-term future," said Sam Walsh, Rio Tinto Chief Executive.

Brad Brown, Senior Vice President of Southwest Operations at Peabody Energy said, "These machines are the size of a ship on dry land. They can walk but typically very slowly with the help of electric generators. This time, Peabody used a different, more efficient method involving a carrier.
