It has been a terrible year for Rio Tinto since the mining giant blasted 46,000 years of history to smithereens at Western Australiaâs Juukan Gorge in May. Since then, the company has turfed some members of its executive team deemed responsible for the catastrophe â including then-chief executive
Jean-Sebastien Jacques â and has issued an apology. On that front, Rio is âabsolutely committed to listening, learning and changingâ.
Rioâs chairman,
Simon Thompson, has continued the mop-up job, jetting into Australia in mid-November to meet the Juukan Gorgeâs traditional owners, the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people (PKKP), for the first time.
