Re: rio tinto
Just discussed it with my man Peter, apparently for every 21 shares you have then you have a chance to buy 1 share for $28...(He thought it was $20 but he could be wrong) hope this answers your question ssx

Re: rio tinto
hi siamsuzie, thanks for the reply by the way,, i think its for every 40 shares you have your entilled to buy 21 new shares, am a bit worried about what will happen to the price's now, and i think rio are presureing share holders to buy new shares or holders will really loose on exsisting shares,, peter.

Re: rio tinto
Frankly, if you're a Rio Tinto share holder you have my sincere sympathy. If you bail you loose, if you hang on, you loose.
If I were you, I'd be looking at suing either the firm who did the due dilligence on the Alcan deal or the board for taking it ahead

Re: rio tinto
I am in noooooo way able to give anything other than an utterly unqualified opinion. I work in the M&M industry, so I more have an opionion on how the company was run, not how it may pan out.
As an opinion only, weathering the storm sounds like a better option, as I cannot see how it can get worse, it still has mining concessions that, should the worst happen, indenture it against bankruptcy and people still need what it produces.

Re: rio tinto
I work for an Engineering company specialising in the Mining and Metals sector, so as the likes of Rio Tinto and BHP are our bread and butter in Aus, I tend to follow their goings on quite closely, but I'm no industry expert by any means
