Earth tremor hits AngloGold's Great Noligwa mine

May 20, 2002 (AFRICAN MINING MONITOR via COMTEX) -- At least three miners were killed on Friday (17 May) at the Great Noligwa gold mine south west of Johannesburg, following a seismic event measuring 2.3 on the Richter scale.
The mine's owner, the South African gold company AngloGold Ltd, says that the accident occurred some 2,000 metres below the surface. Recovery operations are currently underway and three miners have until now been confirmed dead while three others are still missing.

Great Noligwa is on the Free State province side of the Vaal river and is part of the Vaal Reefs complex, along with the Moab Khotsong and Kopanang mines.

(Miningweb, 19 and 20 May 2002; Reuters, 17 May 2002.) African Mining Monitor includes paraphrased and abstracted material with the source, which is deemed to be reliable and duly identified.
