Rio Tinto Delays Pilbara Train Project

Rio Tinto Group, the world’s third-largest mining company, is to delay work on a $371 million program to automate trains at its Pilbara iron ore operations in Western Australia because of the global economic slowdown.

“The easing of market growth caused by the economic slowdown has reduced the urgency of this project,” the London-based company said today in an emailed statement.
