Freeport Mine Shut Down in Indonesia

The Indonesia government has ordered the Freeport Grasberg mine to halt production while it investigates recent fatal accidents.

PT Freeport Indonesia’s Big Gossan underground training facility collapsed on May 14, kiling 28 workers. A truck driver at the mine died on Saturday, a day after  he was injured when liquid ore flowed into his vehicle.

The mine produces around 220,000 tons of ore a day.
