ASX-, JSE- and Aim-listed coal miner MC Mining has reported that an employee died in a fall-of-ground incident at the company's Uitkomst colliery, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, on July 31.

An investigation into the cause of the accident has been launched, with the cooperation and assistance of the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources. Family members, work colleagues and the relevant authorities have been informed and the colliery has temporarily halted operations until further notice.

"This loss of one of our colleagues is very saddening and a shock to us all. The aim of zero harm continues to be a top priority for the company. These moments remind us to always be vigilant and that much more remains to be done to achieve our safety and business goal of zero loss of life.

"Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family of the deceased," says MC Mining CEO and MD Christine He.
