Widespread flooding is wreaking havoc on minerals mine production activity in north-west Queensland, forcing some of the biggest miners to suspended production for weeks or longer, ABC News reported. Capricorn Copper mine, owned by 29Metals Ltd., has halted production for about four months after heavy rain fell at the site. The floods have also affected Evolution Mining Ltd.-owned the Ernest Henry copper-gold mine and New Century Resources, Inc’s mine in the Gulf region.
