Oyu Tolgoi LLC has denied reports about an accident in their processing plant on March 9th that may have caused injuries to some workers.

The Chief Manager of Oyu Tolgoi LLC, Ch.Burenbayar, made a statement denying the released reports. He said in the statement “disinformation might come from the fact that a section of lime wash tubes came free of its holdings and caused one injury on December 12th. Some workers received preventative treatment. Currently the plant is running normally. An investigation to discover the cause of the incident is in process. A top priority of Oyu Tolgoi LLC is workers’ health and safety.

We are seeking the reason behind the accident to prevent possible further accidents and injuries.”
