COURT ORDER GRANTED TO BLYVOORUITZICHT GOLD MINE
DRDGOLD Limited has announced that, in terms of an order granted by the Labour
Court to the company`s Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mine today, mine workers will be
allowed to return to the underground working areas at the Number 4, 5 and 6
shafts from the start of the night shift tonight to perform essential
maintenance and support work in all sections, panels and development ends, and
to conduct cleaning operations and attend to the removal of broken ore.
No production-related blasting may be undertaken on the shafts, pending:
- a presentation on an external audit of the mine`s health and safety systems to
be given to the Department of Minerals and Energy ("DME") at a meeting tomorrow
morning; and
- a determination by the DME by no later than the close of business tomorrow
whether to set aside, vary or confirm its notice to the mine in terms of Section
54 of the Mine Health and Safety Act.
The notice served on the mine on Saturday, following a rockburst which claimed
the life of one employee, ordered all employees to be removed from the stopes at
the mine`s Number 4, 5 and 6 shafts.
