The RioTinto mines, located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt (Spain), are probably the oldest copper mines in the world still in production, starting their activity before 1000 BC. At the end of the nineteenth century, RioTinto's mines were the largest copper producers in the world, integrating the most modern technologies of the time in the mining extraction and in the smelting and refining of copper metal. Throughout its history, from ancient times to nowadays, the hallmark of RioTinto's mines has been pioneers worldwide in developing the most advanced, efficient and innovative technologies in the mining-metallurgical sector.
