Harmony Gold Mining said today that an employee died Saturday morning following a fall-of-ground incident at its Moab Khotsong mine, near Orkney, in the North West province.
“The board, executives and management of Harmony wish to extend their deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of the deceased. Harmony will provide the necessary support to the family as we mourn the loss of our colleague.” Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer of Harmony commented.
Moab Khotsong is a deep-level mine near the towns of Orkney and Klerksdorp, some 180km south-west of Johannesburg. The mine, which began producing in 2003, was acquired from AngloGold Ashanti Limited in March 2018. Mining is based on a scattered mining method, together with an integrated backfill support system.
