Canada-based First Quantum Minerals on Monday announced the passing of an employee at its Kansanshi operation, in Zambia, owing to a traffic accident involving a tracked dozer and a light vehicle.

The incident has been reported to the Mine Safety Department and relevant local authorities, and First Quantum stated that it was cooperating with investigations, while also conducting an internal review of the accident.

In the meantime, the site has been secured, and operations in the affected area have been temporarily suspended until it is deemed safe to resume.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague, and I extend my sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and co-workers,” stated CEO Tristan Pascall.

“The safety and health of our workforce is our top priority, and we are committed to continuously improving our safety practices.”

The company has pledged to provide necessary support to the family and all affected by the incident.
