Shares in BHP Billiton slumped to a seven year low on Monday following the collapse of two dams at a Brazilian mine that left at least two people dead and dozens missing.
The shares closed down 2.3pc on Monday at 952.4p in London, representing their lowest level since November 2008. The shares also fell 5.5pc to A$21.42 in Australia, another seven-year low.
The Anglo-Australian mining giant announced on Monday that Andrew Mackenzie, BHP's chief executive, had flown to the jointly-owned Samarco iron ore operations in Minas Gerais this week to "assist with the investigation".
