Sibanye-Stillwater said 260 employees are trapped underground following a shaft incident at its Kloof mine in South Africa.
The South African precious-metals miner on Friday said all of the workers are safe and have been accounted for following the incident that occurred on Thursday and involved damage caused by an open rock winder skip door.
Sibanye-Stillwater said it is implementing safety and shaft examination procedures, and that it will begin hoisting employees to the surface once those are completed, adding that it expects all affected employees will be brought to surface Friday.
