El Salvador president proposes bill to overturn metals mining ban
In 2017, El Salvador became the first country in the world to ban forms of metals mining.
Canada’s K92 Mining Inc said on Wednesday two persons have died following an incident involving a vehicle at the Kainantu gold mine in Papua New Guinea.
The miner also reported two deaths last month following another vehicular accident. The accident had occurred offsite from the mining lease area, on a country road.
The company said on Wednesday mining operations have been suspended while an investigation is being completed. However, other activities including processing of stockpiles have not been impacted.
