Examples of forward-looking statements include those regarding estimated ore reserves, anticipated production or construction dates, costs, outputs and productive lives of assets or similar factors. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors set forth in this presentation. For example, future ore reserves will be based in part on market prices that may vary significantly from current levels. These may materially affect the timing and feasibility of particular developments. Other factors include the ability to produce and transport products profitably, demand for our products, changes to the assumptions regarding the recoverable value of our tangible and intangible assets, the effect of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating costs, and activities by governmental authorities, such as changes in taxation or regulation, and political uncertainty.

Mineral Resources The Mineral Resources reported for the Rhodes Ridge Joint Venture between Rio Tinto (50 per cent) and Wright Prospecting Pty Ltd (50 per cent), on slide 18 form part of the Pilbara Mineral Resource estimates reported in Rio Tinto’s 2022 Annual Report released to the ASX on 22 February 2023. These Mineral Resources are not materially different to the breakdown of the Rhodes Ridge Mineral Resources reported in Rio Tinto’s 2020 Annual Report released to the ASX on 22 February 2021. The Competent Persons responsible for reporting these Mineral Resource estimates were Mr P Savory, who is a Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and Ms N Brajkovich, Mr C Kyngdon, Mr M Judge and Ms A Latscha who are Members of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Rio Tinto is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects these Mineral Resource estimates and confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed. The form and context in which the Competent Persons’ findings are presented have not been materially modified from when they were reported. Mineral Resources are quoted in this release on a 100 per cent basis, as dry in-situ tonnes. Rhodes Ridge contains 6.8 billion tonnes of Mineral Resources at an average grade of 61.6% Fe; comprising 0.8 billion tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources at an average grade of 62.4% Fe and 6.0 billion tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources at an average grade of 61.5% Fe. These Mineral Resources include: • 0.6 billion tonnes of high grade Brockman Indicated Mineral Resources at an average grade of 63.9% Fe and 0.03 billion tonnes of high grade Detrital Indicated Mineral Resources at an average grade of 61.3% Fe. • 5.3 billion tonnes of high grade Brockman, Marra Mamba and Detrital Inferred Mineral Resources at an average grade of 62.2% Fe. 2 Important information
