South Africa's Harmony Gold stops operations after mine accident

摘要

South Africa's Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd stopped all its operations on February 7 to focus on safety procedures for 24 hours after nine workers were killed in a rock-fall and fire, the worst accident in South Africa's mines in nearly five years. South Africa's third-largest bullion producer said in a statement rescue workers had located the last of the bodies of the workers who died as a result of the accident on February 4 at its Doornkop mine near Johannesburg. "This brings to nine the number of mine-workers who died, and all are now accounted for," it said in a statement.
