Otmane El Rhazi : Mount Gibson stands down workforce

Otmane El Rhazi from Mining Weekly | Ferrous Metals Home.



Iron-ore miner Mount Gibson has stood down the majority of its workforce at the Koolan Island mine, in the Kimberley, in the wake of flooding at its Main pit. The miner last week went into a trading halt after a further slump in the Main pit seawall interrupted geotechnical repairs at the site. Operations in the Main pit were temporarily suspended last month as a precautionary measure to allow the company to monitor and repair an area of instability in the upper part of the southern pit wall.
