REFINED COPPER PRODUCTION


1903


STARTED

2023 figures



Our Kennecott mine is a world-class, integrated copper mining operation located
just outside Salt Lake City, Utah, in the US. Kennecott has been mining and
processing minerals from the rich ore body of the Bingham Canyon Mine since
1903, and today it's one of the top producing mines in the world. Our operation
includes a concentrator, smelter and refinery and tailings storage facility.


REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

Kennecott has one of the lowest carbon footprint of any copper producer in the
United States — and initiatives such as the 2019 power plant closure and a shift
to renewable energy sources have removed more than 1 million tons of CO2
emissions, lowering Kennecott’s annual carbon footprint by as much as 65%. We’ve
paired 1.5 million MWh of electricity with Green-e Energy certified carbon-free
renewable energy certificates, primarily from wind and solar resources. And
we’re trialling underground battery electric vehicles at Kennecott to improve
employee health and safety, increase productivity, and reduce carbon emissions
from future underground mining fleets. We’re using a battery electric haul truck
and loader to evaluate performance and suitability as part of underground
development work.

In October 2022, Kennecott launched a renewable diesel trial, which will compare
acceleration, speed, cycle times, fuel usage, and engine inspection reports for
2 trucks running on renewable diesel versus 2 trucks running on conventional
diesel.

Trialling both battery-electric vehicles and renewable diesel will ensure we can
pick the solutions that are best tailored to our operational needs, based on
actual data.

These are important milestones in achieving Rio Tinto’s goal of being carbon
neutral by 2050.


120 YEARS OF RESPONSIBLY MINED COPPER

Our Kennecott mine has operated for 120 years, providing domestically-sourced
copper to the United States and beyond. As we look towards the energy
transition, Kennecott will continue to play an important role by responsibly
mining and smelting this mineral, which is critical for our electric vehicles,
our renewable energy, and numerous other vital applications.

This Isn't Just Copper

 * 


VISIT THE BINGHAM CANYON MINE

IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY

At Kennecott, we continue to look for new ways to improve energy efficiency and
increase our on-site-generated power supply. The $10 million, 6.2 MW combined
heat and power (CHP) system – large enough to power 6,000 average-sized homes –
is one example of how we are doing this, generating enough power to supply up to
50% of the electrical needs of the refinery.

CHP, also known as cogeneration, is an efficient, clean, and reliable way to
generate power from a single fuel source.


RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION

Our voluntary commitments and accreditations include a number of global,
regional and national organisations and initiatives, and industry accreditation
programs.

Kennecott currently has several environment, social and governance (ESG)
partnerships and additional partnerships planned for 2023. Key partnerships
include:

 * Utah Clean Air: Kennecott is a founding member of this clean air initiative
   organisation.
 * Natural History Museum of Utah: We share an educational experience about
   minerals, geology, and responsible mining.
 * Utah Clean Energy: The Climate Innovation Center is a net-zero climate
   showcase.
 * Salt Lake County: We have a partnership to develop several miles of trails in
   Butterfield Canyon, in and around 500 acres of Kennecott land, to provide
   more recreational opportunities to our local community.
 * Loveland Living Planet Aquarium: We’re involved in community engagement to
   protect our waters and natural habitat.
 * American Heart Association: We’re helping save and improve lives by funding a
   variety of programs and initiatives such as Adopt-A-Clinic and Heart & Stroke
   Walk.

In 2020, the Kennecott operation became the first in the world to be awarded the
Copper Mark, the industry’s first and only independent assurance program –
verifying the copper is responsibly produced. Originally developed by the
International Copper Association with input from stakeholders including
customers, NGOs and producers, the Copper Mark assures that our copper meets the
highest environmental and social standards, including a transparent and
responsible supply chain.

Our Kennecott operation has also been awarded the Molybdenum Mark, an
independent certification that the molybdenum from our site is responsibly
produced with high environmental, social and governance standards. As a
by-product from copper mines, molybdenum has a critical role to play in the
green transition as a vital material in clean energy technologies and
sustainable construction practices in many areas. This certification
demonstrates our continued commitment and leadership to sustainability – to be a
responsible producer that is committed to finding better ways™ to provide the
materials the world needs.

We are also progressing innovative ways to reduce waste from our operations and
while supplying critical minerals that are crucial to the energy transition. So
in May 2022, Kennecott began production of tellurium, a critical mineral used in
solar panels that is helping develop a new US supply stream for the renewable
energy industry.


GROWTH

We’ve now completed the first phase of the south wall pushback at Kennecott,
extending the mine’s life to 2026. We are gradually accessing higher copper
grades.

Stripping for the $1.5 billion second phase, extending operations to 2032,
remains on track. The investment will further extend strip waste rock mining and
support additional infrastructure development, to allow mining to continue into
a new area of the ore body and deliver close to one million tonnes of refined
copper between 2026 and 2032.

We are also progressing feasibility studies to extend open pit mining at
Kennecott beyond 2032. It is our aim that, if proceeded with, the planned mine
expansion, referred to as Apex, would produce around 1.5 million additional tons
of copper and extend the life of mine to about 2040.

In September 2022, we approved a $55 million investment in development capital
to start underground mining and expand production at Kennecott. Underground
mining will initially focus on an area known as the Lower Commercial Skarn
(LCS), which will deliver a total of around 30 kilotonnes of additional high
quality mined copper through to 2027 alongside open cut operations1. The first
ore is expected to be produced in early 2023, with full production in the second
half of the year. It will be processed through the existing facilities at
Kennecott, one of only 2 operating copper smelters in the United States.


ENVIRONMENT

Kennecott is committed to environmental stewardship. Employees work diligently
to prevent, reduce and remediate effects of the operation on the environment.
Kennecott sets self-imposed environmental performance targets to drive
continuous improvement. We strive to be a leader in environmental performance by
demonstrating responsible management of natural resources, reducing our
environmental footprint and exceeding community expectations for sustainable
development.

Kennecott has transformed acreage once dominated by over-grazed lands, salt
evaporation ponds and illegal dumps into a 3,670-acre shorebird and waterfowl
reserve along the south shore of Great Salt Lake.

In 1996, we helped to create the Kennecott Inland Sea Shorebird Reserve (ISSR)
under a mitigation plan and today, the reserve is one of the largest and most
successful mitigations in the United States. The number of bird species using
the reserve area has gone from 50 in 1995 to 200 – a 300% increase – and today,
approximately 120,000 birds use the reserve every year.


KENNECOTT COMMUNITIES

Our commitment to making a positive impact in the communities in which we
operate – and where so many of our employees live – is an important part of how
we do business. For example, we have been working with the Natural History
Museum of Utah for more than 40 years on award-winning science education
programs, community enrichment initiatives and exhibits about the natural world.
In 2008, we donated copper, which today, adorns the outside of the Museum’s home
at the Rio Tinto Center.

   not materially changed.
