No human casualties have been reported, but there is a possibility that the start of mining operations may be delayed, and investigations into the impact on performance are ongoing. We are working with local authorities to restore operations as quickly as possible.\n\n### Outlook and Response\nThe start of production may be delayed from the initial estimate of July-September, and the recovery period is under investigation. The scope of the disaster appears limited, and the impact on Atacama Mine and development-stage copper mines is considered limited. Support for disaster-affected areas is also being considered. The specific impact on performance will depend on investigation results, with delays and additional information to be disclosed as appropriate.","jir_financial_highlights":"Impact on business performance: Unknown (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#IronOre, #HeavyRainImpact, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Potential delays in development due to material transportation route closures\nDamage scope from heavy rain is limited\nOngoing investigation into impact on performance","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Iron Ore\u3011Delay at Alceros Mine Due to Heavy Rain \uff5c July 2026","jir_meta_description":"Heavy rains in Chile affected material transportation and development at the Alceros Mine.
