JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Operations at JSE- and TSX-listed First Uranium’s Ezulwini mine resumed on Monday night, following a fatality at the mine the week before.

First Uranium CEO Gordon Miller noted in a statement that the Department of Mineral Resources had concluded its investigation earlier on Monday.

Mining operations were halted on September 18, after a worker was killed in a fall-of-ground incident, while installing permanent supports in a stope on the 45 level of the Middle Elsburg reef horizon, which is the uranium and gold orebody at the Ezulwini mine.
