Under the agreement, struck with Asia Pacific-focused international mining company Ivanhoe Mines, Rio Tinto will deliver an interim loan facility aimed at shaving six months off the Oyu Tolgoi project's original completion date. It is anticipated that the mine will now be operational by late 2012.

The agreement allows Rio Tinto to assume management of the project (subject to approval by the board of Oyu Tolgoi LLC) and increase its ownership in Ivanhoe Mines by 7.4 per cent to a total of 49 per cent.
