Jan 11, 2026 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) --
The US Securities & Exchange Commission will no longer pursue legal action against Rio Tinto's former CFO Guy Elliott for allegedly misleading investors. The SEC had also targeted the mining giant itself and ex-CEO Tom Albanese regarding the disclosure of impairment charges concerning Riversdale Mining, which Rio Tinto acquired in 2011. Rio Tinto and Albanese had both reached settlements with the SEC in 2023. Meanwhile, Rio Tinto's potential merger partner Glencore is believed to have finalised a $600m taxpayer-funded bailout for its Mount Isa copper smelter in late 2025..
