Mining contractor dies at Asanko Gold’s Ghana project
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – A mining contractor has died at Canadian project developer Asanko Gold's eponymous project in Ghana.
The TSX- and NYSE MKT-listed company said on Wednesday that work on the project had resumed after the relevant regulatory authorities conducted an initial inspection and gave clearance.
A full internal investigation into this incident was under way and a comprehensive review of both the mine and the contractor's operating and health and safety procedures was also being conducted.
Asanko Gold acquired the Obotan project during a C$183-million takeover of PMI Gold Corp in February 2014.
The Asanko mine was created by combining the Obotan and Esaase projects into one, which would be developed over two phases.
The Asanko mine currently had 7.5-million ounces of measured and indicated resources, including 4.8-million ounces of proven and probable reserves.
