In terms of its iron ore business, as the largest iron ore producer in the world, Rio Tinto cut its annual output of its Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) due to plant closures and wildfires, from the previously estimated 10-11 million tons of iron ore pellets and concentrate to 9.3-9.8 million tons.
