Great Panther reports another fatality
Dual-listed Great Panther has reported its second fatality in less than ten days, with news out on Monday that a worker had died at the Coricancha mine complex, in Peru.
The employee lost his life in an accident at the processing plant during the late evening of November 17, the gold and silver mining company said in a statement.
Great Panther reported that the area of the accident had been barricaded and closed off for an investigation to be completed.
"We are extremely saddened by this tragic accident and extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of our co-worker, an experienced plant operator who worked at the Coricancha mine complex for almost seven years,” stated interim president and CEO Jeffrey Mason.
"Safety is a core value at Great Panther and we will continue to strive to prevent such accidents from occurring. This includes completing an investigation of this accident and taking remedial action. Great Panther is continuing an in-depth review of its comprehensive safety policies, programme, and training across all operations,” said Mason.
The Coricancha fatality comes only days after a fatal accident involving a contractor employee at the San Ignacio underground mine, in Mexico. The contractor died on November 8 during a rockfall incident.
