JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Operations at JSE-listed Village Main Reef’s Buffelsfontein mine (Buffels) has been halted following a fatality at its Number 6 shaft.
An employee was killed in a fall-of-ground accident at the Stilfontein-based mine on Monday, joint CEO Marius Saaiman said on Tuesday.
The company was working closely with the Department of Mineral Resources to minimise the impact of the Section 54 stoppage and prevent deterioration of working conditions while a full investigation was under way.
