BAKUBUNG PLATINUM MINE ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST FATALITY AT
THE PROJECT SITE
The Bakubung Platinum Mine has just announced its first-
ever fatality on the project, which occurred on 17 October,
when one of its contractors employed as a Jumbo Operator
was fatally injured during the shaft sinking process at the
mine. From a preliminary investigation carried out immediately
following the accident, the cause of the accident is a metal
object which fell approximately 22 metres down the mine shaft,
striking the contractor who was working at the bottom of the
mine shaft.
At the time of the incident, the fatally injured contractor
had been part of a team completing cleaning processes, loading
broken rock at the bottom of the shaft and in the process of
slinging a Jumbo Drill Rig.
Work on the shaft sinking operations on the main and ventilation
shafts at the Bakubung Platinum Mine site has been temporarily
stopped pending the outcome of the full investigation to determine
the root causes of the incident, and the subsequent presentation
to the Department of Mineral Resources.
Condolences have been sent by the management of the Bakubung
Platinum Mine to the family of the deceased.
