Rio Tinto appoints internal candidate as new head
Jakob Stausholm has been named Rio Tinto's next chief executive, defying expectations it would pick an external candidate to repair its image after the destruction of sacred Aboriginal rock shelters in Western Australia.
Earlier this year, the mining company blasted the 46,000-year-old rock shelters in WA's Pilbara region, despite warnings of the site's cultural significance.
While the destruction was legal, it sparked outrage in the public and investors that ultimately led to the resignation of incumbent Jean-Sebastien Jacques and two deputies.
The appointment of Mr Stausholm, who is Danish, after Frenchman Mr Jacques may come as a surprise to Australian investors, who have argued a new chief executive should have local experience and be based in the country that provides 85 per cent of the company's profits.
Mr Stausholm joined Rio Tinto as its chief financial officer in 2018 and will take on the tough job of repairing strained relationships with investors and Australia's Indigenous and Aboriginal communities.
Bankers and investors had expected the company to choose an outsider as its new head.
'Some may perceive Mr Stausholm's appointment as potentially indicating little change in overall strategy,' analysts at Morgan Stanley told Reuters, adding the internal appointment should cut down on the disruption period caused by management transitions.
Some investors said the appointment was unlikely to go down well with markets as a more radical change had been expected, though Stausholm's knowledge of the company could mean a smoother transition.
As well as navigating Australia's trade tensions with China, potential aluminium plant closures and job losses, he will have to manage cost overruns at Rio's biggest growth project in Mongolia, a new iron ore mine in Guinea and legacy issues in Bougainville.
A parliamentary inquiry report, which said Rio Tinto's role in the destruction of the Juukan Gorge caves was 'inexcusable', has called on the company to pay compensation to Indigenous Australians affected by the destruction of the caves and commit to reconstructing the sacred site.
Mr Stausholm will take over on January 1, 2021, and Peter Cunningham will be appointed as chief financial officer on an interim basis.
Bitcoin surges
Bitcoin has once again hit a new record, surging 10 per cent to $US23,655 ($AU31,031.7) overnight. The cryptocurrency has more than tripled in value this year.
Smaller coin ethereum, which often moves in tandem with bitcoin, was trading 1.6 per cent higher.
With bitcoin's supply capped at 21 million, investors see in the cryptocurrency a hedge against the risk of inflation as governments and central banks turn on the stimulus taps in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
'There will be a search for alternative currencies due to constant fiat money debasement,' Deutsche Bank analysts wrote in a note.
'It does feel that bitcoin will continue to be in high demand.'

Way back in the early 1950’s there was a very popular band called the Eddie Zima Orchestra which was comprised of Eddie Zima, concertina, Andy Day, trumpet, Wally Glowicki and Roman Travers, clarinet and sax, Frank Barwig, piano and Rudy Sienkowski, drums. The boys had their parting of ways with Eddie Zima in 1954 and thus the Ampol Aires were born. Tom Kula, concertina, clarinet and sax, was added to the group to make the band complete. Dick Zimber, bass fiddle joined the group a couple of years later. Jerry Rajewski, piano, joined the band in 1961 following the death of Frank Barwig.
Cities such as Hamtramck, Detroit, Owasso, Saginaw, Utica, Jackson, MI. got there glimpse of ‘that band from Chicago”.Then the Ampol Aires ventured farther East to Pittsburgh, Greensburg, Mt. Pleasant, Chapion, PA, WV.Then even farther East to Rockville, CT, Webster, Taunton, MA., Elizabeth, Dover NJ, Buffalo, Albany, NY. Since the band traveled with the very same musicians who recorded on the albums, the fans were amazed how much they sounded exactly like their recording. The Ampol Aires played for the first time in places such as The Polish Century Club, Kobal Hall,Warsaw Park, Wasaw Inn, Club Ludwig, Polish Falcons Hall, Hunter’s Mountain, Polanka, Kennywood Park Idora Park, PNACollege, Jacktown Hotel, Hardee’s Pub, Fiedords Grove, Seven Springs Resort. The list goes on and on. While the road trips continued their popularity in Chicago continued to grow.
As the members started to retire younger members joined the band. Wayne Sienkowski joined the band in 1975, replacing his dad, Rudy who had health problems. Over the many years the band has gone on to record over 200 tunes. On New Years Day of 1992 the older members of the band retired leaving it to Tom Kula, Jerry Rajewski and Wayne Sienkowski to carry on the tradition. Wally Pacura was brought in band to play the bass fiddle.
The Ampol Aires continued until 2008 when other members retired and family members were brought in to continue the legacy.
Current Ampol Aires members include:
Wayne Sienkowski
Dan Sienkowski
