Palladium miner Lac Des Iles Mines (LDI), a subsidiary of TSX-listed North American Palladium, has been fined C$365 000 for separate incidents in 2014, in which one worker was injured and another killed as a result of shifting mined material.
Senior Justice of the Peace Raymond Zuliani had found LDI guilty in Thunder Bay court on Monday, of failing to ensure that written safety precautions and procedures were established and followed to prevent a worker from being outside of a loader while ahead of the ‘safe-limit line’, contrary to Section 84(1) of the Mining and Mining Plants Regulation, and fined C$300 000.
