Mining Weekly reports that Harmony Gold Mining has reported the death of an employee owing to a seismic-induced fall-of-ground (FoG) event at its Kusasalethu mine, near Carletonville, on 30 April.
CEO Peter Steenkamp expressed the company’s condolences to the family of the deceased, who was integral to the Kusasalethu team as a night shift team leader. Steenkamp said he was deeply disappointed by this loss of life, especially considering the significant efforts Harmony had made to foster a safety culture within the organisation. Safety continued to be at the core of the company’s values, Steenkamp noted. Work in the affected section of the mine has been temporarily ceased, while a comprehensive internal investigation is underway.
