Oyu Tolgoi LLC, the developer of the massive Mongolian Oyu
Tolgoi gold and copper project, is assisting police in
investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a male
employee on site Saturday, the company said.
The employee was a contractor working on site but the name and
job title weren't released, a company spokesman said. The man's
body was found in a waste area close to the kitchen, the company
said.
"A medical team was quickly dispatched but sadly there was
nothing that could be done," the company said.
Oyu Tolgoi is 66%-owned by Canada-based Ivanhoe Mines Ltd
(IVN.T) and 34%-owned by the Mongolian government. Anglo Australian
miner Rio Tinto PLC (RIO) owns a 49% stake in Ivanhoe and is the
project operator.
