Breaking new ground provides an open and honest account of interactions between Rio Tinto and Aboriginal people in the Pilbara. The book features stories from individuals which explore the impact that Pilbara Iron’s Aboriginal Training and Liaison Unit (ATAL) has had on the local communities, since it was established in 1992 amidst an environment of controversial mining expansion, changing company philosophy and a wider national debate about Native Title. ATAL’s achievements are considered within the broader scope of Rio Tinto and the mining industry of Australia.
