TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – TSX- and NYSE-listed North American Palladium on Friday reported that a worker died on Thursday in an accident at its Lac des Iles mine, near Thunder Bay, in Ontario.

The Toronto-based company said it was investigating the accident along with a union, the Ontario provincial police and the Ontario Ministry of Labour. The company did not provide further details, pending the ongoing investigation.

The incident once more highlights the issue of mine safety in Ontario, where a comprehensive province-wide mining health, safety and prevention review is currently under way.

Ontario chief prevention officer George Gritziotis is leading an advisory group of industry, labour, health and safety representatives to undertake a sweeping review on a wide range of areas within the sector to improve the health and wellbeing of its workers, heeding calls for reform after two miners died at Brazilian diversified mining group Vale’s Sudbury operations in 2011 and a spate of other incidents at the province’s mines.
