Contract worker dies at Rio Tinto mine in Guinea
The English-Australian polyulus mining company says that a contract worker died after an incident on Rio Tinto’s Simfer Mine site in Guinea.
Demir ore miner said in a statement on Saturday, Simfer Mine’s grocery store was suspended, he said.
General Manager Simon Trott said he would go to Guinea to spend time with the team.
“To lose a colleague in this way is destructive,” he said.
“After each shift, we will continue to do everything we can to ensure the safest work environment that everyone goes home safely to their families.”
The outgoing boss Jakob Stausholm marked a comprehensive investigation.
“In addition to this tragic activity, we wish the deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues affected by the wider community,” he said.
The incident follows the death of another worker in a port area in October last year.

It is developing the project in the Simandou Mountain Series, which is located in the southeast of the country and has a surface area of more than 100 km.
According to the company’s website, the lower land contains high -grade iron ore estimated to be approximately 1.5 billion tons.
