BHP Billiton Group said that after the worker's accident occurred on Wednesday, the company is evaluating various conditions and studying the “gradual resumption” of mining operations at its Escondida copper project in Chile. BHP Billiton said in a statement that mining operations were suspended after the accident occurred, but some non-mining areas within the mining area were still reducing their load to carry out related work. The company will evaluate staffing, operational readiness, risk management and control measures, and regulatory approval requirements before resuming production.
