Major reshuffle
Shona Markham is the new general manager of Rio Tinto’s Weipa operations following the sudden resignation of Michelle Elvy last week. In announcing the news to staff, Rio Tinto also said it would go back to the old ways of having an individual general manager for Weipa and Gove after the dual responsibility of managing two bauxite sites proved to be unsuccessful. Ms Markham will start in Weipa next week, moving from Bell Bay in Tasmania.
