JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Mining major Rio Tinto plans to reduce its gross debt by $781-million through cash tender offers as part of its ongoing capital management plan.
Rio Tinto Finance Plc and Rio Tinto Finance Ltd have made cash tender offers to buy up to $781-million of the outstanding securities due between 2021 and 2025.
The offer, which commenced on May 22 and will expire on June 19, was oversubscribed by June 5.
