Rio Tinto net earnings slump 22% in H1 2025
Rio Tinto's earnings fell in the first half of 2025 (H1 2025), hit by lower commodity prices, higher capital spending and tariffs. The mining giant's net earnings plunged 22% to $4.53bn in H1 2025 from $5.81bn in H1 2024. Underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) dropped to $11.55bn from $12.09bn, while net cash from operations dipped 1.9% to $6.92bn. Free cash flow plummeted 31% to $1.96bn due to increased investment, with capital expenditure rising to $4.73bn from $4.02bn. Net debt surged to $14.6bn in H1 2025, nearly triple the $5.08bn reported in the previous year. Tariff costs hit $321m, exacerbated by US duties on Canadian aluminum rising from 25% to 50%. However, Rio Tinto maintained its forecast across various commodities for 2025. Pilbara iron ore shipments are expected to be at the lower end of the guidance range due to cyclone impacts. Bauxite production is projected to be at the higher end of the range, led by Amrun's strong performance, copper at the higher end from Oyu Tolgoi and Escondida, and titanium dioxide slag at the lower end due to market demand. The company is prioritising copper and lithium amid rising demand. Capital investment guidance stays at $11bn for 2025, including the Arcadium lithium project. The effective tax rate is expected to rise to 33% in 2025 from 30%, returning to 30% in 2026. Exploration and evaluation expenses are projected to be 'slightly below' the $1bn guidance for 2025. Rio Tinto CEO Jakob Stausholm said: "Our strong cash flow enables us to maintain our practice of a 50% interim payout with a $2.4bn ordinary dividend, as we continue our disciplined investment in profitable growth while retaining a strong balance sheet. "We are well positioned to generate value from our best-in-class project execution, together with growing demand for our products, now and over the coming decades. We remain on track to deliver strong mid-term production growth, with solid foundations in place and a diverse pipeline of options for the future."

Global lead production growth in 2024 driven by key mines
Global lead production reached 4,590.7 kilotonnes in 2024, up by 2.8% over 2023, with Australia, Mexico, Russia, and India contributing 27.8% of the global total. Australia and India were key contributors, driven by the ramp-up of projects such as the Abra Base Metals mine in Australia and India's Sindesar, Zawar, and Rajpura Dariba mines. Mexico's production was boosted by higher grades at Newmont's Penasquito mine, despite a four-month labour dispute earlier in the year while Russia's Ozernoe mine commencement added to growth. In 2025, lead production will be driven by higher output from China, Russia, and India, offsetting declines in Australia and Peru due to scheduled mine closures. China's lead production, the largest globally, will grow slightly by 2.1% in 2025, but its long-term growth will be slow, with a CAGR of 0.5% through to 2030 due to few new capacity additions. Meanwhile, Australia's lead production surged by 11.4% in 2024, reaching 502.5 kilotonnes, driven by projects such as Abra Base Metals and higher grades at South32's Cannington mine. However, growth was tempered by lower output from mines scheduled for closure, such as Potosi/Silver Peak (2025) and Rasp (2026), which are depleting in reserves. In addition, the placement of Century Tailings under care and maintenance following a regional fire in October 2024 further impactedproduction. Future declines in Australia's production are expected, with a CAGR of -1.3% by 2030, primarily due to planned mine closures. In contrast, North American countries, including the US, Canada, and Mexico, will experience growth, with production rising by 29% from 2024 to 2030, driven by new projects such as Hermosa (2027), La Colorada Skarn, and Pine Point (2029). Over the forecast period (2025-2030), global lead production growth is expected to be relatively flat at 0.03%, impacted by mine closures, but offset by new projects such as Bunker Hill, Tala Hamza and Corani.
