Rio Tinto Group (ASX:RIO) has not updated its agreement with the Robe River Kuruma Aboriginal group on whose lands it mines iron ore, failing to fulfill the pledge to reform business practices after the 2020 Juukan Gorge destruction in Western Australia, according to a report by Reuters.
Deanna McGowan of the Robe River Kuruma Aboriginal group claimed that Rio Tinto has cheated them out of 17 years of payments at the Mesa J mine.
Rio Tinto chair Dominic Barton expressed the company's commitment to resolving the issues raised by McGowan.
