Body recovered at Bootu Creek

ASX-listed OM Holdings has recovered the body of its employee Craig Butler, following a wall failure at the Bootu Creek manganese mine, in the Northern Territory, on August 24.

OM on Thursday said mining operations at Bootu Creek remained suspended, with the company hoping to make a staged re-start to in-pit mining by the end of October, subject to the completion of a report by independent geotechnical engineers to facilitate the restart approvals.
