We have the world’s largest autonomous drill fleet - 30 drills supporting both Caterpillar and Epiroc platforms Since 2014, Pilbara iron ore has drilled more than 25 million metres autonomously since formally deploying the technology at West Angelas in 2014 Iron ore has delivered safe, automated production drilling, supervised from a remote location of up to 8 drills per operator. Performance and data quality exceeds traditional manned operations​ Value drivers are: - Improves productivity (20% uplift in productivity with demonstrated drill Effective Utilisation above 60%) - Reduces production variability. Plan vs actual of drill accuracy reduces errors and allows tighter control - Safety benefits of no personnel in cab during operation. Also offers more controlled interactions with other mobile assets and personnel when working on a blast bench Automation Drill System (ADS) – supporting delivery of first ore at Gudai-Darri - Delivers quality production data to enable and support other compatible technologies e.g. the Rio Tinto Smart Charge Truck and blast optimisation automation initiative. This will fundamentally drive improved blast outcomes and reduce the likelihood of heritage area damage due to poor drill and blast practices We integrated the new Caterpillar MD6310 drill platform into the current fleet of drills that operate from the Operations Centre in Perth allowing for: - More sustained and stable operations during COVID- 19 periods - Perth-based rosters for drill controllers - Skill development for drill operators to include supervision, management and optimisation of a fleet of drills, beyond operating a single drill on site - We have partnered with Komatsu North America to develop and integrate the ADS package onto a Komatsu cable electric drill. This is for Iron Ore Canada to retrofit their 12 drill fleet from 2024 39©2022, Rio Tinto, All Rights Reserved


 
Agile mining and right sized trucks driving zero emissions productivity – The Agile Mining/Right Size Autonomous Trucks (RSATe) programme is underway in partnership with Scania, with a trial happening at the Channar mine in the Pilbara – The programme is testing whether smaller, civil size trucks can be used in mining, and looks to revolutionise the way we mine in the future. Agile mining with smaller trucks can be more selective, leading to more ore being produced in our operations – By introducing automation and electrification to the mix, we’re increasing operator safety, and helping to reach our decarbonisation goals. RSATe bring a step change in productivity and resource recovery with zero emissions – Resource recovery is improved by up to 3%, with a 10% strip ratio and mine footprint reduction – Development speed is faster and more flexible by partnering with automotive companies. Greenfield construction time is reduced due to size of associated mine infrastructure – Lower unit capital expenditure costs (10-25%) and anticipated lower operating expenditure, compared to ultra-class fleets 40©2022, Rio Tinto, All Rights Reserved


 
41 Inflation impacts on closure liabilities – At the balance sheet date we reflect the latest view of closure cost obligations in current year real terms, which is achieved by adjusting the existing estimate for current year inflation – Inflation expectations have risen significantly over the last 12 months. Assumptions and outcomes across the Group's most significant regions have averaged around 2% in recent years. – The effect of inflation is recorded within three separate line items in the table of provisions depending on nature of the adjustment and underlying cash flows as follows: – The increased amortisation charge reflects the adjustment needed to take account of prevailing inflation expectations at the start of the year (around 6%). Adjustments (1) and (2) relate to the increase to inflation assumptions during the first six months of the year. – The long-term discount rate in USD real-terms of 1.5% remains unchanged. 01. Adjustments to mining properties - increase in existing and new provisions. 02. Charged to profit - increase in existing and new provisions charged to operating costs for fully impaired / closed sites and clean-up provisions. 03. Increase in amortisation charge when compared with the same period in 2021. ©2022, Rio Tinto, All Rights Reserved
