K92 Mining (KNTNF) deeply regrets to report that on February 3, a contractor supporting roadwork activities near the Kumian Creek Contractor Camp, located approximately 1.5 km NE of the process plant and 8 km NE of the underground mine, suffered a fatal injury following an isolated incident on surface. K92 Mining’s Emergency Services responded immediately to the incident, and the appropriate authorities were notified. A comprehensive investigation is underway by the contractor and relevant authorities, with full support from K92. K92 has temporarily paused this contractor’s activities at site to facilitate this process.
