摘要

The Melbourne-based miner previously said its Capricorn Copper mine in the Mount Isa Shire could be offline for up to four weeks after receiving 200mm of rainfall on the night of March 7. In total, roughly 500mm of rain fell at Capricorn Copper over seven days to March 10, the highest weekly total rainfall ever recorded for the region. The more than 1400mm of cumulative rainfall since November 1, 2022 is now the highest annual cumulative rainfall recorded for the region.
