AMENDMENT
 
The UK Regulatory News Service Announcement No 9967R, released
in London on 1 November 2019 at 13:00 GMT, incorrectly stated that, as of 31
October 2019, the share capital of Rio Tinto plc comprised of 1,252,843,712
Ordinary shares and the total number of voting rights in Rio Tinto plc stood
at 1,262,264,629. These figures have been corrected to reflect that, as at 31
October 2019, the share capital of Rio Tinto plc was comprised of
1,262,264,629 Ordinary shares and the total number of voting rights was
1,252,843,712.
 
All other details were correct and remain unchanged.
 
The full amended text is shown below:
 
 
Rio Tinto plc
 
Total voting rights and issued capital
 
1 November 2019
 
In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rule 5.6.1R, Rio Tinto plc notifies the market that as of 31
October 2019:
 
1.         Rio Tinto plc's issued share capital comprised
1,262,264,629 Ordinary shares of 10p each, each with one vote.
 
2.         9,420,917 Ordinary shares of 10p each are held in treasury.
These shares are not taken into consideration in relation to the payment of
dividends and voting at shareholder meetings.
 
Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in Rio Tinto plc is
1,252,843,712. This figure may be used by shareholders (and others with
notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculation by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change
to their interest in, Rio Tinto plc under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
 
Note:
As at the date of this announcement:
(a)  Rio Tinto plc has also issued one Special Voting Share of 10p and one
DLC Dividend Share of 10p in connection with its dual listed companies ('DLC')
merger with Rio Tinto Limited which was designed to place the shareholders of
both companies in substantially the same position as if they held shares in a
single enterprise owning all of the assets of both companies;
(b)  the Special Voting Share facilitates joint voting by shareholders of Rio
Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited on joint electorate resolutions; and
(c)  there are 371,216,214 publicly held Rio Tinto Limited shares in issue
which do not form part of the share capital of Rio Tinto plc.
