One year on, Samarco focus shifts to long-term rebuilding efforts – BHP

Marking the one year anniversary of the deadly Samarco disaster, joint venture (JV) partner BHP Billiton said on Friday that more than 3 000 people have been mobilised to rebuild infrastructure, provide community and social services and to prepare for the oncoming wet season. Brazil’s worst-ever environmental disaster was recorded in November last year following a dam burst at the Samarco operation, which resulted in 19 deaths.
