Aim-quoted Chaarat Gold on Tuesday reported that an employee of the Kapan mine, in Armenia, had died, following injuries sustained at the operation at the weekend.

The area where the incident occurred was closed and an internal investigation is under way. Chaarat is also working with the authorities to facilitate their investigation of this tragic incident.

Following a safety stop, mining operations are continuing in all other areas.  Production guidance for the year from the Kapan mine remains unaffected.

"We deeply regret this tragic incident, and we offer our sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased.

"We believe all injuries are preventable, and a serious injury resulting in a fatality is particularly concerning. We are committed to identifying and resolving the underlying issues that have resulted in this fatality and will continue to work with our teams towards creating an injury-free workplace,” commented CEO Mike Fraser.
