Peru’s Congress removes energy and mines minister
Romulo Mucho was removed from his post on Tuesday amid protests from small-scale miners in the Andean nation.
SAO PAULO – Brazilian mining company Vale SA said on Friday it has formally removed some executives from their positions after a request by Brazilian prosecutors investigating a dam burst that killed hundreds of people.
Vale did not identify the executives or say what relation they had with the operation in Brumadinho, where the Jan. 25 disaster occurred. It said they would be relocated inside the company.
On March 2, Vale pushed out its chief executive officer and other senior executives as a result of the prosecutors’ request.
