Update on Fort Smith plane crash
24 January 2024
We have been informed by authorities
that four team members from our Diavik diamond mine and two
airline crew members have died in a plane crash near
Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada. Another member of
our Diavik team survived the crash and received treatment in
hospital. The charter flight was on its way to
Diavik.
Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm
said: "We are feeling numb with the devastating news
that we have lost dear friends and colleagues. I extend
our deepest sympathy to the families, friends, and loved ones of
those who have been affected by this tragedy. I am heading to the
Northwest Territories to be with our team and to offer our full
support.
"We will be working closely with
authorities over the coming days, weeks and
months, to support their efforts to understand the full facts
of what has happened."
