PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Base metals miner Independence Group has reported a fatality at its Nova nickel operation, in Western Australia.

The miner said that an employee of the concentrate haulage contractor was injured on site on September 11, and passed away on Wednesday.

The incident occurred while the employee was securing the truck’s load prior to the departure from site.

An initial investigation by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety was immediately launched, with Independence suspending operations for 29 hours.

The company on Thursday said that it was working with its concentrate haulage contractor to provide assistance to the Department during the investigation.
