FATAL ACCIDENT AT TAU LEKOA MINE
Village regrets to announce the death of an employee, in a blasting related
incident at its Tau Lekoa operation in Orkney. The accident occurred around
14:30 on Wednesday 13 June 2012.
The Department of Mineral Resources ("DMR") inspectorate in the North West
Province has been alerted and an initial investigation has been conducted.
The inspectorate has issued a Section 54 instruction, stopping all production
at Tau Lekoa. The management of Tau Lekoa is working closely with the DMR to
minimize the duration of the stoppage on production at Tau Lekoa, while a
full investigation continues.
The Board and management of Village would like to express their condolences
to the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased.
