LONDON (Alliance News) - Glencore PLC late on Thursday said a third body has been found at the Katanga mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo following the geotechnical fault which occurred at the site earlier this week.
A geotechnical failure at the north wall of the KOV open pit mine at the operation had already led to two confirmed deaths, but Glencore said Thursday Katanga Mining Ltd, which operates the mine and in which Glencore holds a 75% stake, had uncovered a third body on the site.
It said the search for the remaining individuals is ongoing and it has allocated all available resources to the search.
