Rio Tinto’s head of exploration, Stephen McIntosh, is among the speakers at the annual Diggers & Dealers Forum on 2 August 2016. He will outline Rio’s plans to team up with smaller resources groups to find the next big minerals deposit in Australia, noting that the nation’s last major Tier 1 discovery was more than two decades ago. He will also stress the need for regulatory reform to reduce the compliance burden for exploration projects. Meanwhile, BC Iron has posted a 2015-16 net loss of $A80m and revenue of $A151.3m.
