<P style="text-align: left;">

<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto paid &#36;4.5 billion in taxes and royalties and spent almost &#36;18 billion buying goods and services from suppliers around the world last year, according to the company&#146;s 2015 Taxes paid report.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto chief financial officer Chris Lynch said &#147;Rio Tinto continues to provide a significant direct benefit to the governments and communities where we operate. The &#36;4.5 billion we paid in taxes and royalties last year takes our total contribution to &#36;47.3 billion since 2010.&#148;</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto has had an average corporate income tax rate of 29.9 per cent globally on underlying earnings over the past five years and its Taxes paid report has been recognised as best-practice in tax reporting and transparency for the extractives sector.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Chris Lynch said &#147;We were the first global mining house to provide comprehensive tax and economic contributions data and in this, our sixth Taxes paid report, we are publishing more detail than ever before.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;We are a strong supporter of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and the need for resources companies to appropriately disclose payments to governments around the world.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;Debates about tax rates and contributions are best served when factual information is provided. This is what we have set out to do with our annual Taxes paid reports.&#148;</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">The 2015 Taxes paid report also shows that Rio Tinto made a total economic contribution of almost &#36;37 billion last year. This contribution includes payments to suppliers, taxes and royalties, salaries, dividends and re-investments.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-align: left;">
<B><FONT size=2 face="Arial">30 June 2016</FONT></B></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto has today transferred its 53.8 per cent shareholding in Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL) to an independent trustee.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Equity Trustees Limited will manage the distribution of these shares between the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) for the benefit of all the Panguna landowners and the people of Bougainville, and the Independent State of Papua New Guinea (PNG).</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Under the trust deed, the ABG has the opportunity to receive 68 per cent of Rio Tinto&#146;s shareholding (which equates to 36.4 per cent of BCL&#146;s shares) from the independent trustee for no consideration and PNG is entitled to the remaining 32 per cent (which equates to 17.4 per cent of BCL&#146;s shares).</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">The ABG and PNG will both hold an equal share in BCL of 36.4 per cent if the transfers are completed. This ensures both parties are equally involved in any consideration and decision-making around the future of the Panguna mine.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto Copper &amp; Coal chief executive Chris Salisbury said &#147;Our review looked at a broad range of options and by distributing our shares in this way we aim to provide landowners, those closest to the mine, and all the people of Bougainville a greater say in the future of Panguna. The ultimate distribution of our shares also provides a platform for the ABG and PNG Government to work together on future options for the resource.&#148;</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">In accordance with the existing management agreement with BCL, Rio Tinto will today give the required six months&#146; notice to terminate the arrangement. Although Rio Tinto will no longer hold any interest in BCL, Rio Tinto will continue to meet its obligations under the agreement during that period to ensure an orderly transition in the shareholdings of the company. BCL chairman Peter Taylor will resign with immediate effect but he will continue to be available to provide services to the board during this transition period.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<B><FONT size=2 face="Arial">Note to editors</FONT></B></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">The Trust Deed determines that should either beneficiary of the trust not apply for the transfer of the BCL shares attributable to them from the trustee within two months, then those shares will be made available to the other party.</FONT></P>
