Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR) shares are trading relatively flat in the premarket session on Wednesday.
The company announced today that it renewed its multi-year enterprise agreement with the mining giant Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE:RIO), extending the partnership for an additional four years.
This agreement ensures Rio Tinto’s continued access to Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), further enhancing the company’s operational efficiency and AI capabilities.

As an early adopter of Palantir Foundry, Rio Tinto has already built a robust digital twin, or “Ontology,” which serves as a unified data model for critical operations.
The Ontology enables Rio Tinto to leverage AIP to rapidly develop, test, and deploy AI-driven solutions, addressing challenges in areas like plant operations, geotechnical risk management, and the coordination of unmanned trains.
“The Foundry Ontology has made our structured data accessible, and AIP is doing the same for our unstructured data while enabling us to attack with pace problems previously deemed too complex,” said Bold Bataar, Rio Tinto’s Chief Commercial Officer.
Trending: During market downturns, investors are learning that unlike equities, these high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% – 9% are protected by resilient assets, buffering against losses.
According to Benzinga Pro, RIO stock has lost over 6% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:SLX) and Gabelli ETFs Trust Gabelli Financial Services Opportunities ETF (NYSE:GABF) and VanEck Natural Resources ETF (NYSE:HAP).
For instance, in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, Foundry integrates real-time data from hundreds of systems, allowing operators to optimize the routing of 53 driverless trains transporting iron ore. This has led to improved safety and throughput on the rail network.
Meanwhile, in Mongolia’s Oyu Tolgoi mine, the Ontology provides dynamic risk management for one of the world’s most challenging mining environments.
