By accessing/attending this presentation you acknowledge that you have read and understood the following statements. Forward-looking statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report, including, without limitation, those regarding Rio Tinto’s financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations (including development plans and objectives relating to Rio Tinto’s products, production forecasts and reserve and resource positions), are forward-looking statements. The words “intend”, “aim”, “project”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “plan”, “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “target”, “set to” or similar expressions, commonly identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Rio Tinto, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, particularly in light of the current economic climate and the significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption arising in connection with the Ukraine conflict. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding Rio Tinto’s present and future business strategies and the environment in which Rio Tinto will operate in the future. Among the important factors that could cause Rio Tinto’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: an inability to live up to Rio Tinto’s values and any resultant damage to its reputation; the impacts of geopolitics on trade and investment; the impacts of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon future; an inability to successfully execute and/or realise value from acquisitions and divestments; the level of new ore resources, including the results of exploration programmes and/or acquisitions; disruption to strategic partnerships that play a material role in delivering growth, production, cash or market positioning; damage to Rio Tinto’s relationships with communities and governments; an inability to attract and retain requisite skilled people; declines in commodity prices and adverse exchange rate movements; an inability to raise sufficient funds for capital investment; inadequate estimates of ore resources and reserves; delays or overruns of large and complex projects; changes in tax regulation; safety incidents or major hazard events; cyber breaches; physical impacts from climate change; the impacts of water scarcity; natural disasters; an inability to successfully manage the closure, reclamation and rehabilitation of sites; the impacts of civil unrest; the impacts of the Ukraine conflict; breaches of Rio Tinto’s policies, standard and procedures, laws or regulations; trade tensions between the world’s major economies; increasing societal and investor expectations, in particular with regard to environmental, social and governance considerations; the impacts of technological advancements; and such other risks identified in Rio Tinto’s most recent Annual Report and accounts in Australia and the United Kingdom and the most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or Form 6-Ks furnished to, or filed with, the SEC. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be construed in light of such risk factors and undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Rio Tinto expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking (except as required by applicable law, the UK Listing Rules, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange) to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in Rio Tinto’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Nothing in this presentation should be interpreted to mean that future earnings per share of Rio Tinto plc or Rio Tinto Limited will necessarily match or exceed its historical published earnings per share. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.

Domestic demand was supported by resilient infrastructure investment and manufacturing output, despite property market weakness • China's annual iron ore imports increased by 6.6% to hit a new record of 1.18Bt in 2023, driven by high domestic consumption and the redirection of shipments from other regions • Seaborne iron ore supply rose to ~1.5Bt in 2023, up 5% and 74Mt year-on-year. Higher cost producers accounted for the majority (55Mt) of the incremental supply, while the major iron ore producers contributed the remainder of the increase 1,200 1,250 1,300 1,350 1,400 1,450 1,500 1,550 1,600 1,650 1,700 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 5 Yr Range 5 Yr Average 2022 2023 3 3 Sources: Rio Tinto Market Analysis, Kpler, S&P Global | 1Monthly average Platts (CFR) index for 62% iron fines.

Chinese demand performed robustly, supported by strong growth in solar modules and electric vehicles • Aluminium production rose 2% in 2023, supported by China, although low hydropower generation forced smelter cuts again in southern China in Q4 2023. Tight domestic supply led to China becoming a large importer of primary metal last year • The global market ended 2023 in a small surplus, but reported inventories remain below average historical levels, which is supportive of prices • Copper consumption growth in China was robust in 2023, rising 6% YoY, supported by increasing use in green-tech applications • Several large copper mines ramped up in 2023, but major disruptions in Latin America resulted in a marked slowdown in mine supply growth • Tightness has emerged in the physical copper concentrate markets, following mine disruptions • Reported refined inventories remain at multi-year lows, leaving little buffer for future market deficits • TiO2 feedstock prices eroded in the second half of the year after slightly increasing in the first half • Demand for TiO2 products was impacted by a weakening macro environment in 2023, resulting in sales volume declines for pigment producers in North America and Europe • The global market was in surplus in 2023 resulting in some inventory build and subsequent supply curtailment 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 Jan-20 Jan-21 Jan-22 Jan-23 Jan-24 Price (c/lb) FY Average 600 700 800 900 1,000 1,100 Jan-20 Jan-21 Jan-22 Jan-23 Jan-24 CP Slag ($/t) FY average 3 Sources: Rio Tinto Market Analysis, CME, LME, Mysteel, S&P Global, TZMI | 1Average LME price.
