EZULWINI MINING OPERATIONS RESUME
Friday 19 November 2010: First Uranium Corporation (First Uranium) has announced
that the notice suspending operations in the underground workplaces issued
pursuant to section 54 of the Mine Health and Safety Act (South Africa) by the
Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) on November 16, 2010, has been lifted. The
notice was issued in connection with a fall of ground which claimed the life of
one employee.
Accordingly, mining operations at Ezulwini Mine will resume tonight.
Deon van der Mescht, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Uranium
said: "Following an assessment by the DMR yesterday, the notice was lifted
earlier today on the condition that each panel is declared safe before blasting
may resume. We are satisfied that we fully understand the cause of the accident
and have increased training and awareness initiatives around standard safety
procedures in unsupported areas."
