On Thursday, 27 June 2019, we were saddened to report an incident that resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries of illegal miners at our Kamoto Copper Company (KCC) industrial operations in the DRC. The illegal miners were working two galleries (underground tunnels) in benches overlooking the extraction area. Two of these galleries caved in. These incidents were not linked to KCC operations or activities.
