When this Chinese operated mining started? I ve just heard about it.
It was a complete opacity about this GOLDEN exploration. Corruption everywhere and at every level.
BRAVO!
This Chinese company must be fined severely for failing to observe safety procedures. It also must compensate the victims' family properly. Chinese mining companies have poor safety records and thousands of Chinese miners in China died every year.
