It will be run throughout 2021 to optimise the process and inform Rio Tinto\u2019s feasibility assessment for progressing to a production scale plant with an initial capacity of at least 5,000 tonnes per year, or enough to make batteries for approximately 70,000 electric vehicles.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRio Tinto Minerals chief executive Sinead Kaufman said \u201cThis is a valuable next step in scaling up our production of lithium at the Boron site, all from using waste material without the need for further mining. It shows the innovative thinking we are applying across our business to find new ways to meet the demand for emerging commodities like lithium, which are part of the transition to a low-carbon future.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRio Tinto\u2019s lithium pipeline includes the Jadar lithium-borate project in Serbia, for which a feasibility study is expected to complete by the end of 2021.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDevelopment of the lithium project at Boron draws on Rio Tinto\u2019s long standing partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Critical Materials Institute (CMI), which is focussed on discovering ways to economically recover critical mineral by-products from existing refining and smelting processes. CMI experts worked alongside Rio Tinto technical leads to help solve a number of key processing challenges to produce battery grade lithium at Boron.\n<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.riotinto.com&amp;esheet=52407666&amp;newsitemid=20210407005321&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=riotinto.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=ea83bd05512d046c858b368b5808b2cb\">riotinto.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nFollow @RioTinto on Twitter\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=bwnews&amp;sty=20210407005321r1&amp;sid=flmnd&amp;distro=nx&amp;lang=en\" style=\"width:0;height:0\" \/><span class=\"bwct31415\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"mmgallerylink\"><span id=\"mmgallerylink-phrase\">View source version on businesswire.com: <\/span><span id=\"mmgallerylink-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210407005321\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210407005321\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Contacts<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:media.enquiries@riotinto.com\">media.enquiries@riotinto.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Media Relations, United Kingdom<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Illtud Harri<br \/>\n<br \/>M +44 7920 503 600<br \/>\n<br \/>David Outhwaite<br \/>\n<br \/>T +44 20 7781 1623<br \/>\n<br \/>M +44 7787 597 493\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Media Relations, Americas<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Matthew Klar<br \/>\n<br \/>T +1 514 608 4429\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Media Relations, Asia<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Grant Donald<br \/>\n<br \/>T +65 6679 9290<br \/>\n<br \/>M +65 9722 6028\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Media Relations, Australia<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Jonathan Rose<br \/>\n<br \/>T +61 3 9283 3088<br \/>\n<br \/>M +61 447 028 913<br \/>\n<br \/>Matt Chambers<br \/>\n<br \/>T +61 3 9283 3087<br \/>\n<br \/>M +61 433 525 739<br \/>\n<br \/>Jesse Riseborough<br \/>\n<br \/>T +61 8 6211 6013<br \/>\n<br \/>M +61 436 653 412\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Investor Relations, United Kingdom<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Menno Sanderse<br \/>\n<br \/>T: +44 20 7781 1517<br \/>\n<br \/>M: +44 7825 195 178<br \/>\n<br \/>David Ovington<br \/>\n<br \/>T +44 20 7781 2051<br \/>\n<br \/>M +44 7920 010 978<br \/>\n<br \/>Clare Peever<br \/>\n<br \/>M: +44 7788 967 877\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Investor Relations, Australia<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Natalie Worley<br \/>\n<br \/>T +61 3 9283 3063<br \/>\n<br \/>M +61 409 210 462<br \/>\n<br \/>Amar Jambaa<br \/>\n<br \/>T +61 3 9283 3627<br \/>\n<br \/>M +61 472 865 948\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Group Company Secretary<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Steve Allen\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Joint Company Secretary<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Tim Paine\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Rio Tinto plc<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>6 St James\u2019s Square<br \/>\n<br \/>London SW1Y 4AD<br \/>\n<br \/>United Kingdom<br \/>\n<br \/>T +44 20 7781 2000<br \/>\n<br \/>Registered in England<br \/>\n<br \/>No. 719885\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Rio Tinto Limited<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Level 7, 360 Collins Street<br \/>\n<br \/>Melbourne 3000<br \/>\n<br \/>Australia<br \/>\n<br \/>T +61 3 9283 3333<br \/>\n<br \/>Registered in Australia<br \/>\n<br \/>ABN 96 004 458 404\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCategory: Boron\n<\/p>\n<p><b>KEYWORDS:<\/b> Europe United States United Kingdom North America California<\/p>\n<p><b>INDUSTRY KEYWORDS:<\/b> Mining\/Minerals Natural Resources<\/p>\n<p><b>MEDIA:<\/b><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"3\">\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><b>Logo<\/b><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20210407005321\/en\/756940\/3\/Rio_Tinto_logo.jpg\" alt=\"Logo\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rio Tinto achieves battery grade lithium production at Boron plant BORON, Calif.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211; Rio Tinto has commenced production of battery-grade lithium from waste rock at a lithium demonstration plant at the Boron mine site in California, United States.
