BRASILIA - Brazil’s mining secretary said on Friday he expects the sector’s main regulator to extend its investigation until January 2020 into the causes of the Vale SA mining dam collapse that killed at least 240 people.
But that deadline is now likely to be extended for another 180 days, he said in an interview, citing the probe’s complexity and the difficulty in accessing the disaster area, which has also been the site of a major operation to retrieve the dead. “Why did the equipment, the monitoring, not identify this bigger quantity than is allowed? Because everything led to the belief that it all was within the standards,” Oliveira told Reuters. “It’s important to know the real truth of what happened.”
