Stranded workers of Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold walk at Moses Kilangin airport in Timika, Indonesias Papua province March 7, 2011. A weekend landslide buried a key road access tunnel to Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Incs Grasberg mine in Papua, Indonesia, leaving thousands of workers stranded, but a company spokesman said operations were continuing as normal.
(News Today) - A landslide has shut a tunnel that links Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.’s mine with the nearby village in Indonesia’s province of Papua. No one was injured in the landslide, which happened Saturday.
PT. Freeport Indonesia spokesman Ramdani Sirait said Monday that production at the world’s largest gold and copper mine continues normally despite the landslide. Some miners were brought to work by helicopter, until bad weather grounded the choppers.
Sirait said the landslide would not affect shipments to buyers since materials travel to the port by pipeline. Freeport-McMoRan, whose operations also include copper mines in Arizona and New Mexico and molybdenum mining operations in Colorado, is the world’s largest publicly traded copper company.
