Diversified miner Rio Tinto on Friday said it was working with traditional owners in the Pilbara after blasting operations at its Nammuldi iron-ore mine impacted an ancient rock shelter. “As part of our cultural heritage monitoring and management processes, last month we identified the fall of a Pilbara scrub tree and a one square metre rock from the overhang of a rock shelter in an area adjacent to the Nammuldi mine site,” Rio’s iron-ore CEO Simon Trott said in a statement.
PERTH – Diversified miner Rio Tinto on Friday said it was working with traditional owners in the Pilbara after blasting operations at its Nammuldi iron-ore mine impacted an ancient rock shelter.
“Initial assessments taken by drone haven’t found structural damage to the rock shelter or impacts to any cultural materials. Blasting operations undertaken by Rio in 2020 at its Brockman 4 site, destroyed two ancient rock shelters at Juukan Gorge, which dated back more than 46 000 years and were considered culturally significant.
