Diversified miner Rio Tinto has apologised after it detonated explosives near a 46 000-year-old sacred indigenous site, in Juukan Gorge, Australia.
The Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura People (PKKP) group of traditional [land] owners say the denotation of explosives 11 m away from ancient rock shelters destroyed it and therefore their connection to their ancestors and land.
