RIO TINTO CLARIFICATION
8 September 2008
IN RELATION to 'Time to confront collisions head on', Rio Tinto Iron Ore advises that none of its other Pilbara iron ore mines will install the Acumine collision avoidance system before the company has fully evaluated results of its Brockman No.2 mine trial, which it plans to complete by the end of 2008.
RTIO general manager - technology division, iron ore, Andrew Jenkin says any extension beyond Brockman would therefore not commence until 2009, and would be dependent on the system evaluation.
