Rio seeks new iron ore boss with challenges to solve

摘要

Rio Tinto is seeking a new head of iron ore after it announced on Sept. 11 that Chris Salisbury will stand down at the end of this year. Salisbury joins Rio Tinto Chief Executive JS Jacques in leaving Australia's largest iron ore producer in response to the destruction of sacred indigenous caves at its Western Australian operations. Rio Tinto said Ivan Vella, currently the managing director of Rail, Port & Core Services at the miner's iron ore business, will replace Salisbury on an interim basis from Dec. 31.
