First Uranium mine to reopen after fatal accident
http://af.reuters.com/article/investingNews/idAFJOE6AI0H720101119

TORONTO (Reuters) - First Uranium said on Friday that mining at its Ezulwini mine in South Africa would resume after operations there were stopped earlier this week following a fatal accident.

On Tuesday, the mine was shut down by government regulators after a tunnel collapse killed one worker and injured three others.

The Toronto-based company said the South African Department of Mining had completed its investigation and lifted the suspension.

"We are satisfied that we fully understand the cause of the accident," First Uranium Chief Executive Deon van der Mescht said in a statement. "(We) have increased training and awareness initiatives around standard safety procedures in unsupported areas."
