June 7 (Reuters) - Global miner BHP Group BHP.AX on Friday said it has set up a tailings taskforce to further improve focus on internal dam management and boost their safety.
The company said it has 67 operated tailings facilities across all sites, 12 of which are in Australia.
The world's biggest miner also said that a review undertaken to assess the management of tailings facilities following the Fundão dam collapse in Brazil in 2015 at its joint venture Samarco had identified no immediate concerns regarding dam integrity.
