Rio Tinto said an autonomous train carrying iron ore from its
mining operations in remote northwest Australia to a port derailed
late Saturday and that efforts to recover the derailed wagons are
underway.
A spokesman for the miner, one of the world's top exporters of
the steelmaking ingredient, declined to comment Monday on the
impact to operations.
In a statement, Rio Tinto said it is investigating the incident
and has notified regulatory authorities. "The regulator has
approved recovery of the site, and work to recover the derailed
wagons has commenced," the company said.
About 30 wagons derailed roughly 12 miles from the port town of
Dampier in West Australia's Pilbara mining region, said Rio Tinto.
The miner said no one was injured.
