Rio Tinto Considers Sale of 99-Year-Old Boron Mine
Rio Tinto is exploring the divestment of its Boron mine, a significant asset acquired in 1967, as part of a strategy to streamline operations. This move aligns with the company's initiative to offload non-core assets under the new CEO's leadership.

Rio Tinto is actively considering the sale of its Boron mine, acquired in 1967, as part of a broader strategy to divest non-core assets. The mine is a key contributor to eastern Kern's economy, being one of the largest employers and the seventh-largest property tax contributor in the county.
The company's intentions were announced in December, and a spokesperson confirmed that discussions regarding the sale are ongoing. This divestment could reshape local employment dynamics and alter the tax revenue landscape.
