In the GG-3 area, a rock mass collapse occurred while a retention tank was being cleaned. Three employees were in the danger zone.
Despite an immediate rescue operation, the 37-year-old miner could not be saved. The two other employees, who suffered minor injuries, were taken to hospitals. Their lives are not in danger.
The causes of the accident will be investigated by a special commission appointed by KGHM.
The company’s management decided to introduce three days of mourning at all its branches.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased.
