Rio Tinto has indicated that it is open to all potential options for its Winu copper project in Western Australia’s Paterson Province. However, selling a stake in Winu is said to be its preferred option; Winu boasts copper grades of 0.45 per cent, compared with 1.89 per cent at the Resolution project in the US, and Rio Tinto believes that Winu may be of a more suitable size and scale for a small or mid-tier miner. Newmont Corporation is also seeking a buyer for its Telfer gold and copper mine in the region.
