ANA reports that AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) announced on Monday it had achieved its first ever fatality-free March quarter. This meant it had delivered two consecutive fatality-free quarters for the second time in its history.
This was inclusive of the gold producer’s ultra-deep South African mines, which had reached a new milestone of 247 days without a fatality. AngloGold Ashanti operates 17 gold mines in nine countries. "Given the challenging conditions of ultra-deep mining operations, the entire team, in co-operation with a broad group of stakeholders, must be commended for delivering this critical objective in line with AngloGold Ashanti's commitment to safe production," the company said in a statement.
