US law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton will shortly release a technical report on its review into the tailings dam disaster at the Samarco iron ore project. Samarco is jointly owned by BHP Billiton and Vale, and the former has committed to full disclosure of the report, which will examine the causes of the November 2015 disaster. BHP has also responded to the Samarco incident by undertaking a review of its other joint ventures, which is likely to result in changes to how they are managed.
