AngloGold Ashanti Update on Safety Incident and Search Effort for Miner at Obuasi
(JOHANNESBURG) – NEWS RELEASE – AngloGold Ashanti reports with deep regret that
an employee of our mining contractor at the Obuasi Gold Mine in Ghana, is missing after a
fall of ground in one of the operation’s mining stopes.
The incident occurred on Tuesday morning and immediately triggered a search and rescue
effort. The mine rescue teams have been working tirelessly, in difficult geotechnical
conditions in the immediate area, to locate our missing colleague. The relevant authorities
have been notified and are providing support during this time.
Safety remains our highest priority and all mining activity has been suspended. An update on
the situation will be provided in due course.
