The transaction would have paved the way for Rio to own a majority stake in the Oyu Tolgoi copper/gold project, which is one of the world’s largest known copper and gold deposits.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.riotinto.com/news/releases/2022/Rio-Tinto-reiterates-compelling-value-of-proposal-to-acquire-full-ownership-of-Turquoise-Hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rio Tinto</a>, which owns a 50.8% stake in Turquoise Hill, said it is disappointed by the special committee’s decision and continues to believe that the offer would deliver compelling value for Turquoise’s minority shareholders.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rio Tinto CEO Copper Bold Baatar said: “Rio Tinto remains as committed as ever to the long-term success of Oyu Tolgoi. While we are disappointed by this decision, we will continue to work constructively with the Board of Turquoise Hill to advance the Oyu Tolgoi project.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turquoise Hill owns 66% of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine while the remaining stake of 34% is held by the Mongolian Government.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rio Tinto also stated: “As previously disclosed, Rio Tinto is not interested in pursuing any alternative transaction, including any such transaction which would result in the sale of Rio Tinto’s interest in Turquoise Hill or the acquisition by a third party of Turquoise Hill or Oyu Tolgoi in partnership with or independent of Rio Tinto.”</p>\n<div class=\"c-related-companies-article\">\n    <h6 class=\"c-related-companies-article__title\">Related Companies</h6><div class=\"related-storefronts c-related-companies-article__single\" id=\"company 79156\" data-url=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/resource/rpm/\">\n            <a href=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/resource/rpm/\" class=\"c-related-companies-article__img-link single-storefront-related \">\n            <img src=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2021/12/Featured-Image_752x490_Advisory.jpg\" alt=\"\"/></a>\n            <div class=\"c-related-companies-article__meta\">\n\n            <h6 class=\"c-related-companies-article__title\"><a href=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/resource/rpm/\">RPMGlobal</a></h6>\n            <p class=\"c-related-companies-article__excerpt\">Leading the Digital Transformation of Mining</p>\n             \n                </div>\n               </div><div class=\"related-storefronts c-related-companies-article__single\" id=\"company 7761\" data-url=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/separation/dmspowders/\">\n            <a href=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/separation/dmspowders/\" class=\"c-related-companies-article__img-link single-storefront-related \">\n            <img src=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2017/09/main-548.jpg\" alt=\"\"/></a>\n            <div class=\"c-related-companies-article__meta\">\n\n            <h6 class=\"c-related-companies-article__title\"><a href=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/separation/dmspowders/\">DMS Powders</a></h6>\n            <p class=\"c-related-companies-article__excerpt\">Milled and Atomised Dense-Media Ferrosilicon</p>\n             \n                </div>\n               </div><div class=\"related-storefronts c-related-companies-article__single\" id=\"company 6497\" data-url=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/separation/eurogomma/\">\n            <a href=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/separation/eurogomma/\" class=\"c-related-companies-article__img-link single-storefront-related \">\n            <img src=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2017/09/main-453.jpg\" alt=\"\"/></a>\n            <div class=\"c-related-companies-article__meta\">\n\n            <h6 class=\"c-related-companies-article__title\"><a href=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/contractors/separation/eurogomma/\">EUROGOMMA</a></h6>\n            <p class=\"c-related-companies-article__excerpt\">Polyurethane Screens and Polyurethane Screen Panels</p>\n             \n                </div>\n               </div></div>                                \n                \n                \n\n            </div><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '501151668227761');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n</script>\r\n<br>[ad_2]\r\n<br><a href=\"https://www.mining-technology.com/news/turquoise-rejects-rio-offer/\">Source link </a>"
