Newcrest Mining Ltd., Australia’s biggest gold producer, halted mining at Cadia Hill, an open pit mine in New South Wales state, after a landslide prevented access of heavy vehicles.
Production is still continuing at the site with a combination of stockpile and ore feed from the company’s nearby Ridgeway underground mine, spokeswoman Kerrina Watson said by phone today. The ground slipped after several days of rain, the Melbourne-based company said in a statement.
