    48 Killed In Mali Gold Mine Accident

    At least 48 people have been killed in the collapse of an illegally operated gold mine in western Mali Saturday, authorities and local sources told AFP.

    A Police Source in a statement noted that the toll at 18:00 today is 48 dead following the collapse.

    “Some of the victims fell into the water. Among them was a woman with her baby on her back.” He added

    A local official confirmed the cave-in, while the Kenieba gold miners’ association also put the death toll at 48.

    The search for victims was ongoing, the head of an environmental organisation told AFP.

    Saturday’s accident took place at an abandoned site formerly operated by a Chinese company, sources told AFP.

    Mali is one of Africa’s leading gold producers, and mining sites are regularly the scene of deadly landslides and accidents.

    Authorities have struggled to control unregulated mining of the precious metal in the country, which is among the world’s poorest.

    In January, a landslide at a gold mine in southern Mali killed at least 10 people and left many others missing, most of them women.

    Just over a year ago, a tunnel collapsed at a gold mining site in the same region as Saturday’s landslide, killing more than 70 people.
