Operations at the Grasberg mine have been halted for nearly a month, and Freeport-McMoRan has warned of lower consolidated copper and gold sales in the third quarter.

Freeport said it is advancing its investigation into the cause of the incident and is coordinating closely with Indonesian government authorities to assess the event and future operational plans.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
