The Vancouver-based miner said a probe has been initiated and the South African Department of Mineral Resources has issued a safety stoppage notice at the Middelpunt Hill operations in Bokoni, located on the eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex.
Anooraq said all other mine operations were unaffected.
