BHP Group Ltd., the world’s largest miner, has stood down around a quarter of the workers constructing its West Musgrave nickel and copper project in Western Australia, according to a report from the Australian Financial Review.
The workforce at the A$1.7 billion project has been cut from about 400 to 300 people, the AFR reported, without saying where it got the information. A company spokesman said the exit of some workers didn’t mean the entire project - acquired from OZ Minerals Ltd. last year - has been canceled, the AFR said.
