Mining News Pro - A report by the Agence France-Presse citing local authorities states that 24 people were killed by a landslide at the Ndiyo gold mine, located 40 kilometres from the town of Watsa in the northeastern Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
According to Mining News Pro - The provincial minister of mining, Dieudonne
Apasa, said that the incident took place on Saturday afternoon when the
torrential rains that have been pouring over the area for weeks softened
the terrain so much that it started to crumble.
Apasa said that two miners were rescued alive. Normally, these
panners sell gold nuggets to local traders, who resell them to large
foreign companies.
The news agency’s report states that a similar disaster killed 31
people just two months ago at an artisanal mine in Maniema, in the
central-east region, while storm-caused landslides over the capital
Kinshasa were blamed for at least 41 deaths at the end of November.
