Update on Tropical Cyclone Damien
17 February 2020
Rio Tinto's iron ore operations in the Pilbara, Western
Australia, are progressively resuming following the passing of
Tropical Cyclone Damien. The cyclone caused infrastructure damage
across our entire Pilbara network, including impact to access
roads, electrical and communications infrastructure and
accommodation. All mine sites experienced some disruption and will
take time to return to normal operations.
As a result, Rio Tinto's Pilbara shipments in 2020 are now
expected to be between 324 million tonnes and 334 million tonnes
(100 per cent basis) versus previous guidance of between 330
million tonnes and 343 million tonnes. Rio Tinto is working with
its customers to minimise any disruption in supply.
Safety remains our top priority as we ramp up operations, and
undertake the necessary remediation work, following the passing of
the cyclone.
