All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report, including, without limitation, those regarding Rio Tinto’s financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations (including development plans and objectives relating to Rio Tinto’s products, production forecasts and reserve and resource positions), are forward-looking statements. The words “intend”, “aim”, “project”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “plan”, “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “target”, “set to” or similar expressions, commonly identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Rio Tinto, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, particularly in light of the current economic climate and the significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption arising in connection with the Ukraine conflict and the Covid-19 pandemic. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding Rio Tinto’s present and future business strategies and the environment in which Rio Tinto will operate in the future. Among the important factors that could cause Rio Tinto’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: an inability to live up to Rio Tinto’s values and any resultant damage to its reputation; the impacts of geopolitics on trade and investment; the impacts of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon future; an inability to successfully execute and/or realise value from acquisitions and divestments; the level of new ore resources, including the results of exploration programmes and/or acquisitions; disruption to strategic partnerships that play a material role in delivering growth, production, cash or market positioning; damage to Rio Tinto’s relationships with communities and governments; an inability to attract and retain requisite skilled people; declines in commodity prices and adverse exchange rate movements; an inability to raise sufficient funds for capital investment; inadequate estimates of ore resources and reserves; delays or overruns of large and complex projects; changes in tax regulation; safety incidents or major hazard events; cyber breaches; physical impacts from climate change; the impacts of water scarcity; natural disasters; an inability to successfully manage the closure, reclamation and rehabilitation of sites; the impacts of civil unrest; the impacts of the Ukraine conflict and the Covid-19 pandemic; breaches of Rio Tinto’s policies, standard and procedures, laws or regulations; trade tensions between the world’s major economies; increasing societal and investor expectations, in particular with regard to environmental, social and governance considerations; the impacts of technological advancements; and such other risks identified in Rio Tinto’s most recent Annual Report and accounts in Australia and the United Kingdom and the most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or Form 6-Ks furnished to, or filed with, the SEC.

Robust and broad-based approach to decarbonisation 1. Commercial solutions - Repowering Pacific smelters - Grid connected renewables (RBM, Kennecott) 2. Capital solutions: with a carbon price of -$50/t to +$50/t - Pilbara renewables: 1GW Phase 1 (234MW + storage) - Alumina process heat (QAL double digestion) 3. Capital solutions: with a carbon price of >$50/t to <$100/t - Alumina process heat (Full electric conversion2) - Minerals processing (Electric boilers) 4. Capital solutions: Pilbara renewables 1GW Phase 2 system build out (with a carbon price <$50/t) - Renewables expansion & investment in transmission infrastructure to support fleet electrification / full decarbonisation 5. Solutions under review - Diesel (fuel alternatives) - Alumina process heat - Minerals processing 6. Nature-based Solutions4 - High-quality projects on or near our assets Decarbonisation components 5-10% 2030 CO2e emission abatement %1 $7.5bn Capex % ~5-10% 5-10% ~15% ~20% ~5% 15-20% TBD3 30-40% ~15% 1 Reduction from closure of operations and replacement with lower carbon emission is expected to contribute up to10% of abatement reduction to 2030, new projects will need to be carbon neutral or emissions mitigated elsewhere in the portfolio. 2 The electrification of the boilers will require new commercial renewable energy contracts as well as capital. 3 Additional capital spend required to meet abatement target is under continual review, current analysis indicates total spend unlikely to exceed $7.5 billion. Uncertainty remains to the timing of availability of scale technology solutions for HME and logistics, and limited savings have been built into the plan for diesel solutions before 2030. 4 Nature-based Solutions projects are expected to result in CO2 removals and avoided emissions.
