Elimination of risk factors is not different from mitigation. It's a form of mitigation.

I would agree. Mitigation is a way to reduce risk, and that can include root cause elimination, depending on various factors (like time constraint, risk level, cost/benefit of elimination), etc. Yes, mitigation could be a temporary fix, but through the monitoring portion of Risk Management process, root cause could be pursued as a continuous improvement to strengthen the risk response strategy.
