Rio opens books to over half-dozen possible suitors for Australia coal mines – sources
Global miner Rio Tinto (RIO.AX) (RIO.L) has opened its books to more than a half-dozen potential buyers of its remaining two Australian coal mines as it winds down the sales process, two people familiar with the sale process said on Friday. The Kestrel and Hail Creek coking coal mines on the block have attracted some of Australia's established coal miners, as well as private equity firms attracted to the positive outlook for selling metallurgical coal to Asian steel mills at robust prices, according to the people. The mines could fetch around $2 bln, the sources said, in a sale that if successful would complete Rio's plan to finalise its exit from the sector and focus on iron ore, copper and aluminium, where it maintains greater market share.

BHP presents united front against activist Elliott
The new chairman of BHP (BLT.L) (BHP.AX), the world's biggest miner, threw his weight behind his CEO on Thursday after attacks from activist investor Elliott Advisors prompted speculation that the end of Andrew Mackenzie's tenure was imminent. Pressure has mounted on BHP and its chief executive since Elliott went public in April with its criticisms of the miner's strategy. "Any suggestion there is a set timeline around Andrew's tenure is simply false and without merit," Chairman Ken MacKenzie told reporters after his first AGM since taking office at the start of September.

SYDNEY/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday charged mining company Rio Tinto Plc (RIO.L) (RIO.AX) and two of its former top executives with fraud, saying they inflated the value of coal assets in Mozambique and concealed critical information while tapping the market for billions of dollars. The U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also said on Tuesday it had reached a settlement with Rio Tinto under which the company would pay a fine of £27 million ($35.6 million) to settle claims that it breached accounting rules in connection with the Mozambique assets. The Mozambican coal business, which relied on barging the product down the Zambezi River to export via a planned port on the coast, was acquired for $3.7 billion in 2011 from Riversdale Mining and sold a few years later for $50 million.

Rio Tinto to Vigorously Defend Fraud Allegations
Rio Tinto (RIO.AU) said it will vigorously defend itself against fraud allegations over the timing of the impairment in relation to its failed acquisition of the Australian-listed, Mozambique-focused coking coal explorer Riversdale Mining. The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Rio Tinto, its former CEO Thomas Albanese, and its former CFO Guy Elliott with fraud for inflating the value of the Mozambique coal assets acquired for $3.7 billion and sold a few years later for $50 million. The SEC’s complaint, which was filed in federal court in Manhattan, alleges that the miner and and the two former executives failed to follow accounting standards and company policies to accurately value and record its assets. “As alleged in our complaint, Rio Tinto’s top executives allegedly breached their disclosure obligations and corporate duties by hiding from their board, auditor, and investors the crucial fact that a multi-billion dollar transaction was a failure,” said Stephanie Avakian, Co-Director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division.
