PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Gold miner Troy Resources has reported a fatality at its Karouni gold mine, in Guyana.

The company on Wednesday told shareholders that a 3-m-high embankment upon which an employee was standing, had collapsed, with the employee suffering fatal injuries.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic news and our heartfelt and sincerest condolences go to the family, friends and colleagues of our employee. We always make every effort to ensure the wellbeing of all of our people and this incident brings home the need for upmost vigilance in safety at all times,” said MD Ken Nilsson.

Mining operations at Karouni have been temporarily suspended, and an investigation will be conducted by both the company and the relevant authorities.
