JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – East Africa-focused Shanta Gold has reported a “fire incident” in the screening section of the recently commissioned crushing circuit of the gold processing plant at its New Luika gold mine, in south-western Tanzania.

The company said on Friday that two people suffered minor injuries during the event, which occurred on Thursday morning, but were able to return to work later in the shift. The rest of the processing plant was not affected.

While repairs were being undertaken, the company did not expect the current quarter's gold production to be affected, as the mine was able to revert back to the use of the standby crusher.  

An investigation was under way into the cause of the incident.
