A light-duty truck collision at Canadian mining company Ero Copper's Brazilian copper facility resulted in the death of one employee and temporarily suspended operations. The company confirmed the employee's death after the accident at the Caraiba facility.
The company immediately suspended operations, but they are set to resume today, it added.
A second employee is in critical condition. The details of the incident are under investigation.
Caraiba processes ore into 32-35% copper concentrate from its mill, drawing on the nearby Pilar and Vermelhos underground mines and the Surubim open pit mine.
Ero estimated copper in concentrate production for the mine at 42,000-47,000 metric tons for 2024, which would represent as much as a 7.2% increase from the 43,857 tons produced in 2023.
