Search continues for missing Katanga miners
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The search continues for five people, who are still unaccounted for after a landslide at TSX-listed Katanga Mining’s KOV openpit mine, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The landslide occurred on Tuesday, following a geotechnical failure on the north wall of the mine.
Two employees were killed in the incident.
The rescue efforts were being led by 20 search and rescue professionals.
Katanga said it continued to work closely with the relevant authorities and was providing all the necessary support for the families of the affected individuals.
“Our immediate thoughts are with the families and friends of the colleagues who have died or remain missing as a result of this tragic incident. Our highly trained search and rescue teams are doing everything possible to locate our five colleagues, who we believe are still in the incident zone,” said Katanga chairperson Hugh Stoyell.
Katanga is a subsidiary of diversified miner Glencore.
