Two workers found dead at Queensland zinc mine
Two workers at MMG’s Dugald River Mine in Queensland were found dead, said Australian contractor Perenti in a news release.
The Dugald River Mine is located approximately 65km north-west of Cloncurry in Queensland, Australia. The mine is 100% owned by the MMG Limited and is one of the world’s top 10 zinc operations. "Following a significant search and rescue operation at the Dugald River Underground Mine and further to recent announcements, it is with great sadness that Perenti advises of the tragic loss of our colleagues Trevor Davis and Dylan Langridge, the two previously missing Barminco employees," wrote Perenti in a news release.
"Yesterday morning, at approximately 125 metres below the surface, an incident occurred resulting in three Barminco employees, one in a drill rig and two in a light vehicle, falling approximately 15 metres into a void within a previously backfilled stope. The drill rig operator was rescued and received medical treatment for minor injuries. Tragically, through the rescue effort it has been confirmed that the two other Barminco employees, Trevor Davis and Dylan Langridge were fatally injured.
