JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) - Gold-miner AngloGold Ashanti has suspended operations at its Moab Khotsong mine in the Vaal river area of South Africa following a fatal accident on Monday.

Spokesperson Joanne Jones confirmed that the company had halted all tramming operations at the mine after a worker was killed when two trains collided during shunting operations.

Earlier this month, AngloGold also reported a death at its Kopanong gold mine in the North West province.
