Rio Tinto will slash its capital-expenditure budget to US$8 billion in 2015 from about $14 billion this year and $11 billion in 2014, Chief Executive Sam Walsh said at an investor briefing in Sydney.
Rio Tinto is the world's second-biggest producer of iron ore. Mr. Walsh [CEO] said the company's 2012 spending of more than $17 billion would now likely be "a peak for all time."
