You aren't seeing double. Rio Tinto plc, one of the world's largest mining operations (behind BHP Billiton and Vale ), is the British half of dual-listed companies. Its Australian counterpart is Rio Tinto Limited , with headquarters in Melbourne. The two companies trade on separate stock exchanges but run the business as one entity. That entity mines gold, diamonds, iron, copper, uranium, and industrial minerals borax, salt, and talc. Its Rio Tinto Alcan subsidiary makes aluminum products, while Kennecott Minerals and Kennecott Utah Copper mine gold and silver and copper, respectively. Most of Rio Tinto's operations are in North America and Australia but it sells all over the world. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competition
Competitive Landscape for Rio Tinto plc
Demand comes largely from the manufacturers of durable goods like motor vehicles, machinery, containers, and construction steel. The profitability of individual companies depends largely on efficient operations, because most products are commodities sold based on price. Big companies have large economies of scale in production. Accordingly, most producers of secondary products buy raw metal from the large producers. Small companies can compete by operating efficient local mini-mills or producing specialty products. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is close to $300,000.
