13th December 2016 By: Creamer Media Reporter

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Dual-listed Atlatsa Resources on Tuesday reported a fatality at the Brakfontein shaft of its Bokoni mine, near Polokwane.

The employee, a miner’s assistant, was fatally injured last week in what the company described as a water-related incident.

No other employees were injured.

A Department of Mineral Resources investigation is currently under way, while Atlatsa institutes its own internal audit and safety procedures to take the “necessary remedial actions”.
