Global resources giant Rio Tinto has released its 2020 shareholder dividend details after what the company described as âa challenging yearâ.
The company, which generated $15.9 billion USD ($20.5 billion AUD) from operating activities, employs more than 3000 people in Central Queensland.
The figure, six per cent higher than 2019, was primarily driven by higher iron ore prices and stability in operating performance.
