    J Rio Tinto May Sell China Aluminum Joint Venture - Reuters

    DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

    Rio Tinto Ltd. (RIO.AU) is in talks to sell half its Chinese aluminum joint venture to
    its partner, the Reuters news agency reported Thursday, citing unnamed sources in two
    Chinese companies.
    The joint venture partner, Qingtongxia, is set to be taken over by state-owned China
    Power Investment Corp. to form China's second-largest aluminum producer, Reuters
    said, citing the sources.
    Qingtongxia was in talks with Rio to buy back all the shares it didn't own in the
    joint venture to consolidate its assets before the takeover, Reuters reported, citing an
    unnamed official at Qingtongxia and an unnamed source at China Power.
    Rio Tinto spokesman Nick Cobban declined to comment, Reuters said.
