SSR (SSRM) said the review confirmed its construction and operation of the heap leach pad adhered to design parameters ... blasting vibrations, or over-stacking contributed to the incident ...

Importantly, CNI’s analysis determined that the heap leach pad construction and operation ... ground vibrations from blasting, nor stacking beyond the design caused the event.

SSR says a study has shown that the tragic heap leach pad slide in Turkey last February was probably the result of faulty design engineering by a third party.
