COLUMN-Australian resource companies are becoming renewable energy believers: Russell
It's not quite yet a flood but Australian resource companies are increasingly embracing renewable energies into their mining and natural gas operations even in the face of a federal government that veers toward climate scepticism. Among recent developments are moves by Rio Tinto to convert its iron ore trains to hybrid power, the commissioning of a solar power plant at an oil and gas facility operated by Santos in South Australia state, and battery storage being integrated into ConocoPhillips' liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Darwin.

Investors Whipsawed as Iron Ore’s Dramatic Year Continues
(Bloomberg) -- Iron ore’s dramatic year continued Wednesday as investors were whipsawed by two big pieces of news with conflicting implications.First, Brazil’s Vale SA said it won court approval to revive operations at one of its biggest projects, a development that’s likely to help ease global supply concerns that had sent prices to a five-year high. But just a few minutes later, No. 2 miner Rio Tinto Group said it’s not going to be able to hit an already lowered output target this year after problems at its sprawling operations in Western Australia.The iron ore market has been on a roar since January after the fatal collapse of a dam in Brazil resulted in steep reductions in supply from Vale, the biggest shipper. Those supply concerns have been compounded by operational problems in Western Australia, where Rio and BHP Group mine.Today’s announcements come after iron ore prices renewed a surge in recent days, hitting the highest levels in five years. Prices have been driven higher as the effects of supply disruptions in Brazil ripple through to China, where port inventories have tumbled and steel mills are churning out record volumes.London-based Rio now expects to produce 320 million to 330 million tons this year. That’s less than an earlier goal of 333 million to 343 million tons. Vale’s restart could bring on an additional 5.4 million tons this year, according to BMO Capital Markets.Vale said today that Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice revoked the injunction stopping the iron ore miner from using its dam in Brucutu, clearing the way for the company to reopen the mine within 72 hours.That’s the third time the Rio de Janeiro-based miner signaled the return to normal operations at facilities that accounted for almost a third of the capacity that’s been shuttered since the fatal tailings dam disaster in January.“The net impact of Rio Tinto and Vale’s announcements is a further reduction in iron ore supply in an already tight market,” BMO analyst Edward Sterck said. “Price spikes in iron ore probably cannot be ruled out, but we still think that pricing is sufficient to stimulate swing supply.”Rio cut its guidance in April after a cyclone hit its operations in Australia, lowering an original target of 338 to 350 million tons. BHP Group, the No. 3 producer, also cut its target, adding to supply concerns.Rio shares fell as much as 5.4% in London trading. The stock is still near the highest level in more than a decade because of the rally in iron ore, the most important commodity for the company.To contact the reporter on this story: Thomas Biesheuvel in London at tbiesheuvel@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Lynn Thomasson at lthomasson@bloomberg.net, Liezel Hill, Dylan GriffithsFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Rio Tinto cuts production guidance for most important commodity
Rio Tinto was among the worst performing blue-chip stocks in London on Wednesday after the Anglo-Australian group cut production guidance for iron ore, its key commodity and source of profits. Rio said it had been experiencing “operational” challenges at the Greater Brockman hub in Western Australia, triggering a review of its mine plans. “Given the change in volume guidance, unit costs will be updated in the second quarter operational review [due on July 16],” Rio said in a statement.

Supply or Demand: What Will Weigh on Iron Ore Prices More?
Tighter environmental controls are pushing Chinese mills to go for higher-quality imported ore as opposed to domestic ore. Seaborne iron ore exporters including Vale (VALE), BHP Billiton (BHP), and Rio Tinto (RIO) generate more than two-thirds of the total seaborne iron ore supply.

Rio Tinto reveals government contracts
Rio Tinto has published the contracts and licensing agreements that govern its biggest projects, as the Anglo Australia group seeks to improve transparency and counter perceptions that miners profit at the expense of host nations. While some of the Anglo Australian company’s contracts are already publicly available — including the investment for the giant Oyu Tolgoi copper project in Mongolia — others are more difficult to find. To solve that problem, Rio, a founding member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, has created an online disclosure table with links to its development contracts, weighty legal documents that can be difficult for non-specialists to read.

Top Miner BHP Sees an End to the Era of Coal
There’s the prospect that the material will be “phased out, potentially sooner than expected,” Chief Financial Officer Peter Beaven said in an investor presentation on Wednesday. BHP follows its biggest competitors Rio Tinto Group and Glencore Plc in questioning the future role of coal used for power generation, as investors press for more action to tackle climate change and tighten restrictions on holding companies that produce the fuel. Rio sold its final coal mines last year, while Glencore said in March it would seek to limit production.
Bloomberg•last monthThe Global Diamond Glut Worsens
Sales by the Anglo American Plc unit dropped 25% from a year ago to $415 million, and were down 29% from an offering last month. It’s often a quieter time of the year because the industry has already restocked after the key holiday period, but total sales so far in 2019 are still much weaker than in previous years. In December, some of Rio Tinto Group’s customers refused to buy cheaper stones, while De Beers was forced to cut prices toward the end of last year and offer concessions to buyers.
