The ministry said in a release that 40 workers were trapped when the roofing of an underground training facility collapsed around 7.30 a.m, adding that thirteen have been evacuated and are safe.
The company, a subsidiary of Arizona-based Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX), is halting underground mining activities.
Freeport Indonesia said it doesn't expect the event to have a material effect on mining and milling operations or development activities. [DowJones | Kompas]
