PERTH (miningweekly.com) – A worker has been fatally injured at coal miner Fitzroy Australia Resources’ Carborough Downs mine site, in Queensland.

The company said that the police and relevant authorities have been notified and have commenced investigations into the cause of the accident, with the full cooperation of Fitzroy Australia Resources.

All operations on the site have been suspended until further notice.

“We are deeply saddened by this news and Fitzroy extends our deepest sympathies to the family, friends and colleagues of the worker,” CEO Grant Polwarth said.

Mineworkers are being progressively briefed on the incident as they arrive on site to commence their shifts and the company has made counselling services available to these workers.

“Our thoughts remain with all those who have been impacted by this tragedy,” Polwarth said.
