In Australia, the world's largest iron ore company Rio Tinto has blown up a cave with a history of 46,000 years.
Jean-Sebastian Jakues, the company's CEO, and two other high-ranking officials have resigned after two historic caves containing human remains were accidentally blown up, Qadin.net reports quoting Haber Global.
The event, which resulted in the destruction of ancient history, took place in May. After that, an investigation was launched.
The region has about 8 million tons of high-quality iron ore worth about $ 100 million.
At the same time, animal bones with a history of 28,000 years, a belt made of human hair dating back 4,000 years were found.
The area was the oldest aboriginal settlement in Australia.
The company has cut off more than $ 5 million in bonuses to executives and is working to improve relations with the aboriginal community.
