Human rights court orders Peru to pay damages to mining town
The court ruled the state failed to comply with its duty to regulate and supervise La Oroya Metallurgical Complex, which was active for nearly a century.
Canadian miner Lundin Mining on Monday said an employee at its Neves-Corvo mine in Portugal died after a fall-of-ground incident while operating a piece of equipment underground.
The company said operations at the mainly copper and zinc producing mine have been temporarily suspended.
Lundin said that it is working with Portugal’s authorities in their investigation.
