Tanzanian police have killed 65 people and injured 270 during years of sporadic clashes with villagers at a controversial Canadian-owned gold mine, according to evidence heard by a Tanzanian government inquiry.
They will appeal verdict that paved the way for about half a million current and former miners to proceed with a multi-million-dollar suit, which seeks compensation for those who contracted lung diseases.
Illegal mining in South Africa is on the increase in the face of deteriorating economic situation in that mineral-rich country, according to reliable sources..
The miner is confident in the long term outlook for the diamond industry and it expects is to be cash flow positive in the second half of the current financial year.
