Federal prosecutors in Brazil launched an investigation into an ore pipeline rupture at Anglo American Plc's Minas Rio iron ore mine in the country's Minas Gerais state, Reuters reported March 13.
The mining major recently halted operations at the site, as the incident resulted in the leaking of a mixture of iron ore and water to a local watershed.
In January, the company secured long-delayed licenses to expand capacity at the Minas Rio mine by about 56%.
