0113 GMT - Rio Tinto has recently committed more than US$11 billion to building its new lithium business, including the latest joint venture with Chile's Empresa Nacional de Minería, or ENAMI, says Barrenjoey analyst Glyn Lawcock. The Australian investment bank expects the miner could spend more than US$5 billion more to fully develop its pipeline of lithium projects, Lawcock says in a note. Rio Tinto says it will provide roughly US$425 million in cash as well as its direct lithium extraction technology and other non-cash contributions to take the project with ENAMI to a final investment decision. Barrenjoey has an overweight rating and A$126.00 target on Rio Tinto. Shares are down 1.0% at A$115.82. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
