The incident has been reported to the Mine Safety Department and relevant local authorities, and First Quantum stated that it was cooperating with investigations, while also conducting an internal review of the accident.
In the meantime, the site has been secured, and operations in the affected area have been temporarily suspended until it is deemed safe to resume.
