Bret Clayton (Rio Tinto) Stanford Interview

This is another interview that has been published on youtube from Stanford University. Bret Clayton is an executive director of Rio Tinto.

This interview gives an interesting insight into the world of mining. Projects are huge, budgets are massive and timescales are of a completely different order to what most businesses consider. The time from inception to operation of a mine could well be 15 years. Again this echos with the excellent talk I attended from David Mayhew.

There are also insights into his view of what will happen to commodities like copper over the next many years.
