JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Triple-listed platinum group metals miner Atlatsa Resources has halted operations at the vertical shaft at its Bokoni platinum mine, in Limpopo, after a worker was killed in a fall-of-ground incident on Tuesday.
This followed an inspection and the subsequent issuing by the Department of Mineral Resources of a Section 54 safety stop after the worker was fatally injured.
The fatality came at a time when Bokoni’s safety record had been steadily improving over the past 15 months, with two-million fatality-free shifts achieved as at August 3.
