A miner has died in a tragic mine accident that occurred at Lubambe Copper Mines.

According to Lubambe Mine Communications Manager, Loice Saili, the accident happened yesterday underground at the Lubambe Copper Mine and tragically resulted in the death of an employee.
Ms Saili has explained that no other employees were injured and that investigations by the mine safety department are underway to establish the cause of the accident.
