TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Global diversified miner Rio Tinto on Tuesday said that it had appointed former oil industry executive Alfredo Barrios as CE of its aluminium business.

He would succeed industry veteran Jacynthe Cote, who will leave the business for personal reasons to pursue other interests. Cote, who started at Alcan more than 25 year ago, would continue in an advisory role until September 1, to ensure a smooth transition.

Barrios would assume his new role on June 1 and also join the executive committee. He would be based in Montreal, subject to obtaining all necessary immigration approvals from the Canadian authorities.

Barrios was most recently employed as executive director and executive VP downstream at the joint venture TNK-BP, one of Russia's biggest vertically integrated oil and gas companies, where he was responsible for the refining, trading, supply, logistics and marketing businesses.

He joined British Petroleum in 1992 and had enjoyed a varied and distinguished career including senior leadership roles in the UK, the US, Russia and Continental Europe. He has a strong track record of successfully delivering sustained safety and business performance, large capital-intensive projects and international government relations.
