“The spill was recorded during the early hours of this Saturday when members of the same company reported it to their supervisors.”, Telesur TV informed.
It is assumed that the dam suffered a breakage due to a collapse of part of its structure. “However, there is still a large amount of water on the tailings deposit”, the news site wrote yesterday.
