Barrick Mining safely evacuated workers stranded at its Barriales camp in northern Chile after severe storms cut off road access. All evacuated workers are in good health, and rescue efforts resumed Saturday when weather improved enough for helicopter flights. Three employees remain at the company's Potrerillos camp with electricity, food, and water until blocked roads can be reopened. Barrick has also made a helicopter available to Chilean authorities through July 29 to assist with rescue and logistics operations.
