BRITAIN-CHINA-US-MINING-INVEST-RIOTINTO-ALCOA
Alain Belda, (R) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alcoa gestures with Xiao Yaqing, President of Chinalco, at a press conference in London, 01 February 2008. Chinese aluminium giant Chinalco said Friday it and US peer Alcoa have bought a 12-percent stake in Anglo-Australian miner Rio Tinto, setting up a possible takeover tussle with rival BHP Billiton. Analysts said the acquisition was a possible defensive move to prevent, or at the least complicate, any tie-up between Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, two of the biggest miners and suppliers of raw materials, which China needs to drive its booming economy.
