Barrick Safely Evacuates Workers Stranded at Barriales Camp in Northern Chile
Barrick Mining said it has safely evacuated workers who had been stranded at its Barriales camp in northern Chile after severe storms blocked road access. The company said all evacuated personnel are in good health. Rescue operations began on Friday and resumed on Saturday after weather conditions improved enough to allow helicopter flights. Chile’s Economy and Mining Minister Daniel Mas also confirmed the successful evacuation. Barrick said it will keep a helicopter available to local authorities until July 29 to support further rescue and logistics operations. Three workers remain at the Potrerillos camp while access roads are being cleared. Barrick said they have adequate electricity, water and food and remain safe and in good health. The severe storms have killed more than a dozen people and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Earlier rescue efforts had been delayed by poor weather and blocked roads.
