[miningmx.com] — HARMONY Gold said on Thursday it was still searching for a trapped miner at its Kusasalethu mine in South Africa and all operations there had been halted.
“The search for the missing miner is still on-going. The rescue mission is taking longer than expected. All operations at Kusasalethu have been stopped,” spokeswoman Henrika Basterfield said in an e-mailed response to questions.
The worker has been trapped since Wednesday because of a seismic incident at the mine which produced 12 to 18 kgs of gold a day. It had previously said that only stoping operations had been halted at the mine.
