QUOTE ALAN KOHLER: Well, in general, where would you like to see Rio Tinto's portfolio expand? ...
TOM ALBANESE: ...I think I'd like to look at uranium, I'd like to look at diamonds. But I'd say on balance, I think we have a pretty good portfolio in virtually all of our businesses where we can be expanding those businesses.
QUOTE ALAN KOHLER: So are there any products that you're not in that you'd like to get into?...
TOM ALBANESE: ...I'd say on the sort of the M and A space, in terms of - as I scan the landscape - I'd be more narrowly focused on the smaller type things that really would be more of a bolt-on to the existing businesses of Rio Tinto.
I think we can certainly satisfy our growth objectives by focusing first and foremost on organic opportunities within the existing suite of Rio Tinto businesses.
ALAN KOHLER: So no big takeovers?
TOM ALBANESE: No, I think we'll focus on again the smaller ones that could be bolted-on or complement our existing businesses. If we have them, great. If we don't have them, fine. We'll just keep working on our existing Rio Tinto businesses.
