Miner missing at Henty gold mine
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – A worker missing at the Henty gold mine, in Tasmania, is yet to be recovered, the Tasmanian police said on Thursday.
The worker was reported missing early on Thursday morning after staff at the mine were unable to make contact, and an initial investigation found a section of earth collapsed.
Police, fire and mine rescue crews have been working at the mine since an earth collapse, with search crews having returned to the surface after using a thermal imaging drone and a robotic camera to investigate the collapsed area.
The Tasmanian Police said that the footage from the scene had not yet located the man, or identified signs of life.
Mining services provider PYBAR CEO Brendan Rouse said that the company’s immediate priority was to ensure the safety and welfare of the worker, and those involved in the rescue.
“We are working closely with relevant stakeholders to do everything possible to ensure we access the area as safely and quickly as possible.”
Operations at Henty have been suspended while the rescue effort is under way.
