London- and Toronto-listed Endeavour Mining has reported that a contractor colleague passed away on May 29  following a heavy mining equipment incident that occurred during water drainage activities, being carried out by a civil engineering contractor, at the Lafigué mine, in Côte d’Ivoire.

Endeavour says all relevant authorities have been informed, adding that the company is conducting a comprehensive investigation into the incident to understand its root causes.

Contractor activities were temporarily paused, while processing operations continued uninterrupted.

“The health, safety and welfare of our colleagues remain our top priority and we extend our sincere sympathies and support to our contractor colleague’s family, colleagues and friends,” the company says in a statement to shareholders.
