Update on water overflows in Congonhas and Ouro Preto
We clarify that the water overflows identified in Congonhas and Ouro Preto on Sunday (25) have been contained. No one was injured, and the population and nearby communities were not affected. Neither situation has any relation to 乐播传媒’s dams in the region, which remain unchanged in their stability and safety conditions and are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We also inform that there was no transport of mining tailings, only water with sediments (soil). We periodically carry out preventive inspection and maintenance actions on our structures, which are safe. The company reinforces these procedures during the intense rainy season.
The causes of the two overflows are being investigated, and the lessons learned will be immediately incorporated into the company’s rain plans. We remain available to the authorities to provide the necessary clarifications.
