JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com)  – JSE-listed gold mining major AngloGold Ashanti on Monday reported the death of an employee at its Mponeng mine in the Carletonville area, south-west of Johannesburg.

Preliminary investigations indicated that the deceased, an electrician, was fatally injured in a heavy equipment incident. A full on-site investigation was currently in progress.

The Department of Mineral Resources had been notified and an in loco inspection was carried out. In the meantime, management stopped activities relating to the lifting of equipment in the underground workings.
