<li>We run sentiment analysis around Rio Tinto's Juukan Gorge heritage site crisis, text-mining for ESG-related sentiment since news of ethically-challenged practices at RIO broke out</li>
<li>In early June, Rio Tinto revealed it had blasted a 46,000-year-old sacred aboriginal site, sparking widespread controversy and resulting in a management shakeout and parliamentary enquiry</li>
<li>Perceived as an ESG disaster, Rio Tinto continues to underperform FMG and the MSCI Global Metals &amp; Mining Index, though its performance gap with BHP closed in September following executive resignations</li>
<li>Fortescue's performance appears to have been unaffected by the Juukan Gorge crisis, but our sentiment analysis and news attributions see gathering clouds as FMG is recently linked to significant negative stewardship headlines</li>
<li>Our daily RIO ESG sentiment time series has been 74% correlated with RIO performance since May 31 with a 7-day lead</li>
<li>Though entirely dependent on the quality and volume of news flow, NLP-based sentiment analysis can help identify and attribute decoupling between equity performance and newsflow tone, as well as challenge confirmation biases, taking into account the rapid pace of news decay</li>
