\n Rio Tinto said its CEO and two other top executives would step down over the mining giant\u2019s destruction a pair of ancient caves in Australia.<\/p>\n

Chief executive Jean-S\u00e9bastien Jacques will leave by March 31 of next year in response to the May blast at Juukan Gorge, a historic site that humans had occupied for 46,000 years, the company announced Friday.<\/p>\n

Rio Tinto said Jacques was exiting \u201cby mutual agreement.\u201d Chris Salisbury, chief executive of the firm\u2019s iron ore business, and Simone Niven, group executive of corporate relations, will also leave at the end of December, the company said.<\/p>\n

Company chairman Simon Thompson noted that there were concerns about \u201ca lack of individual accountability\u201d for the explosion, which was app<\/a>roved by government officials but violated the wishes of the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people, the land\u2019s traditional indigenous owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened at Juukan was wrong and we are determined to ensure that the destruction of a heritage site of such exceptional archaeological and cultural significance never occurs again at a Rio Tinto operation,\u201d Thompson said in a statement, adding that the company is \u201cdetermined to regain the trust\u201d of the traditional owners.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s announcement came after Rio Tinto\u2019s move last month to cut Jacques, Salisbury and Niven\u2019s bonuses by a total of roughly $3.7 million this year following a company review of the detonation.<\/p>\n

The cave blast gave Rio Tinto access to $135 million worth of iron ore but sparked outrage over the destruction of a historically and culturally significant site. The company also took a hit to its reputation for dealing with indigenous people around the world.<\/p>\n

Rio Tinto\u2019s Australian-listed shares dropped about 0.6 percent Friday to 99.86 Australian dollars ($72.72).<\/p>\n
