ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN miner Rio Tinto Plc plans to triple its capital expenditure to around US$11 billion next year as it attempts to boost its iron ore production by more than 50 percent over five years.
The world's third-largest miner and second-biggest iron ore exporter said yesterday that new drilling and a reevaluation of deposits in Western Australia state's remote Pilbara region had revealed an additional 2 billion tons of iron ore reserves.
The miner is expanding its iron ore division as China shows a growing demand for raw materials to make steel.
The new plans come just a month after Rio and rival BHP Billiton scrapped plans to form the world's biggest iron ore joint venture after running into regulatory and political opposition to the deal.
