Rio Tinto has declined to comment on speculation that it could finalise a funding deal for the $US6bn Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold project in Mongolia in mid-December 2015. The resources group had been widely tipped to secure the $US4bn financing deal with up to 15 banks in early 2016. Oyu Tolgoi’s annual output is slated to be 500,000 tonnes of copper and up to 600,000 ounces of gold when production reaches full capacity.
