Rio Tinto Weipa

Rio Tinto's Weipa operations includes three bauxite mines, processing facilities, shiploaders, an export wharf, two ports, power stations, a rail network and ferry terminals.

The development of Amrun, the company's newest mine, completed in 2018, will extend the life of Rio Tinto's Weipa bauxite operations by decades to come, significantly building on its 55-year history on the Western Cape, and providing jobs and supporting business growth in the region.

The mine is located on traditional land. Rio Tinto works closely with the Traditional Owners to implement a number of agreements, ensuring that the benefits generated from mining support future generations and that important cultural heritage sites are looked after.
