MAJESTIC GOLD CORP. REPORTS SUSPENSION OF DGZ MINE
A
hangingwall
accident
has occurred at Majestic Gold Corp.'s Denggezhuang underground mine (the DGZ mine)
of
Yantai City Mujin Mining Company Ltd., a subsidiary of the
company. The incident involved a worker who was struck by loose rock while performing risk removal operations. Despite immediate rescue efforts, the worker succumbed to his injuries.
Following the incident, the Shandong Provincial Emergency Management Department (EMD) and Shandong Bureau of the State Mine Safety Supervision Administration
(SSA)
ordered the suspension of production and rectification of the situation and temporarily withholding the relevant licence of the DGZ mine. In addition, an accident investigation team must immediately be established to determine the cause and nature of the accident, investigate the responsibility of the on-site management, and evaluate the direct economic losses of the accident. The team will jointly review the remediation measures undertaken by Yantai Mujin before authorizing the resumption of operations at the DGZ mine.
While Yantai Mujin is currently waiting for the work-related injury adjudication determination notice issued by the Yantai Muping District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau to ascertain the final judgment of the accident, the company will continue to work closely with Yantai Mujin to fully co-operate with the continuing investigation led by the EMD and SSA. The company is committed to implementing all necessary safety measures, addressing potential hazards, and ensuring that all on-site safety management and supervision are in place.
The company's management and its board of directors extend their deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased worker and is offering all possible support to those affected during this difficult time.
