Is there anything in Australia Rio Tinto won't screw up?

Oh, I'm sure it'll turn up somewhere. Eventually.

I mean, "The company's name comes from the Rio Tinto in south-western Spain, which has flowed red since mining began there about 5,000 years ago, due to acid mine drainage."

I love how they just threw in the last sentence “in 2020 the firm took credit for destroying a 46,000 year old aboriginal site”
Like wtf

Fly those drones with Geiger counter devices in them. Or those planes. I say they find it in less than 45 days from today. Do you like the over or under?
