⚠️ BHP Group Ltd $BHP has suspended all operations at its Escondida mine in Chile, the world's largest copper mine, following the death of a worker during maintenance activities. The company has notified authorities, launched an internal investigation, and halted operations in line with Chilean regulations, which require safety inspections before production can resume. The workers' union has called for a thorough administrative and judicial investigation, arguing that operational and productivity pressures must not compromise worker safety. Rio Tinto plc $RIO, a partner in the mine alongside JECO, is also indirectly affected by the temporary shutdown. ⛏️🇨🇱 #Copper #Mining #BHP
