RIO

Rio Tinto Plc

A global mining and metals company that digs up and sells iron ore, aluminium, copper, diamonds, lithium, and more, supplying the raw materials that go into everything from cars and buildings to phones. It was founded in 1873, when British investors bought ancient copper mines along the Río Tinto river in Spain — a name that means "Red River," for the rust-colored water that flows through the region's mineral-rich ground. Those same hills were mined by the Romans, who left behind water wheels and vast slag heaps, making this one of the oldest continuously worked mining sites on Earth.
