A U.S. judge on Wednesday quashed a bid to widen the scope of a civil lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that accused miner Rio Tinto of fraud at its Mozambican coal business, a court filing showed.

Rio had acquired Riversdale mining for $3.7 billion in 2011, on the premise it would be able to barge 30 million tonnes of coal per year down the Zambezi river, and rail a further 12-15 million tonnes of coal per year to port. Defendants Rio Tinto Ltd, Rio Tinto Plc, Albanese, and former Chief Financial Officer Guy Elliott had argued that the studies were not complete at the time the capital was raised.

The SEC argued that some of the dismissed claims should be restored, in light of a subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decision in an unrelated case, but that bid was knocked back on Wednesday.

Take them coalers down, boys, take them coalers down.
