The collapse of the Fundao tailings dam at the Samarco mine in Brazil has been found to be caused by a series of events related to structural problems. The accident occurred on 15 November 2015. Its causes were analysed by consultants Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton. The study was commissioned by Samarco Mineraco’s joint owners BHP Billiton and Vale.
