On January 21, 2026, Rio Tinto released its fourth-quarter production data, with bauxite production reaching 15.4 million tons, exceeding market expectations of 14.4 million tons.
Alumina production was 1.97 million tons, higher than the expected 1.90 million tons; aluminum production was 852,000 tons, slightly above the estimate of 851,581 tons. This growth was driven by improved operational efficiency at key mining areas and seasonal capacity release. This production performance reflects the company's stable supply capability within the global aluminum supply chain.
