Cobar mine incident

This is a heartbreaking day for the Cobar community and will be felt across the entire mining industry.

We understand investigations are still underway.

The number one priority in any mine must be safety.

Everyone who goes to work has the right to come home.

While safety protocols and procedures have greatly improved in mining, these deaths are a sobering reminder of why we need to always remain vigilant to protect workers.
