BHP set to resume work at Brazil mine five years after 19 killed in dam disaster

Anglo-Australian miner BHP is close to restarting work at a Brazilian mine where an accident in 2015 killed 19 people. Samarco Mineracao, a company owned by BHP and Brazilian miner Vale, has met licensing requirements to restart operations. It aims to produce around eight million tonnes of iron ore pellets every year from the Germano mine, and its Ubu complex.
